Working in Swindon

In Swindon we cover SN1, SN2, SN3 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Calne, 12.7 miles away, and Cirencester.

Swindon is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If your Swindon shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether. If you are planning ahead in Swindon for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.

Supplies across most of Wiltshire are hard. If your supply in Swindon is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. 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
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
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.

Head

A large overhead head feels luxurious but needs good flow. A handset on a riser is easier for rinsing hair and cleaning the shower.

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.

Is the water hard in Swindon?

Who handles building control for a walk-in shower in Swindon?

Building control for Swindon is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How big does a walk-in shower need to be?

A walk-in shower with no door works well at 1400 mm long or more, with the glass panel covering most of that length. At 1200 by 800 mm it is still usable, but spray is more likely to escape the open end. A width of 800 to 900 mm is enough for most people.
