Working in Huddersfield
In Huddersfield we cover HD1, HD2, HD3 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover Elland, 3.3 miles away, and Brighouse.
Across a large town like Huddersfield, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. For a walk-in shower in Huddersfield, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. In a long, narrow Huddersfield en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.
Most of West Yorkshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Huddersfield, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
Decisions to make first
Glass thickness
8 mm toughened glass is standard; 10 mm feels heavier and more solid. An easy-clean coating keeps limescale off clear glass in hard-water areas.
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.
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.
