Working in Walsall
As well as Walsall itself (WS1, WS2, WS4 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Wednesbury, Wednesfield and West Bromwich.
Across a large town like Walsall, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. In a long, narrow Walsall en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. If you are planning ahead in Walsall for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.
Water hardness varies across the West Midlands: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Walsall. 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
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
- Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
Decisions to make first
Tray length
Go long rather than wide. A 1400 to 1700 mm tray with a 900 to 1200 mm panel leaves a dry walkway; a 1200 mm tray works but gives less margin for spray.
Niche
A recessed shelf in the back wall keeps bottles off the tray. It has to be planned at first fix and tanked like the rest of the wall.
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.
