Working in Shirley
We work right across Shirley — B28, B90 and B91 — and in neighbouring Solihull and Acocks Green.
Homes in and around Shirley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a walk-in shower in Shirley, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. If your Shirley bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job.
Hardness differs from one part of the West Midlands to the next. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Shirley. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
- Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
Decisions to make first
Tray or tiled floor
A tray is quicker, costs less and has a small lip. A tiled floor with a linear drain sits level with the rest of the room and lets one tile run throughout.
Valve
An exposed bar valve with a riser rail is easy to fit and service. A concealed valve hides the pipework and suits a fixed overhead head.
Rules that apply in England
In England, moving or adding lights, a fan or a shower circuit in a room with a bath or shower is notifiable under Part P. A tiled level floor that needs a new drain connection at the soil stack can bring in Part H.
