Working in Ellesmere Port

We cover every part of Ellesmere Port, including CH64, CH65 and CH66, and nearby Garston (3.8 miles) and Speke (5 miles).

In Ellesmere Port, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Ellesmere Port home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain. If you are planning a wet room in Ellesmere Port for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Water across much of Cheshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Ellesmere Port. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex

Decisions to make first

Floor tile

Matt or textured porcelain with good slip resistance. Mosaic gives extra grip on a centre-drain floor because of its many grout lines.

Former or screed

A pre-formed board gives a consistent fall and suits timber floors. A sand and cement screed suits concrete slabs and larger shower areas.

Rules that apply in England

In England, a new drain connection or changes at the soil stack can be building-regulations work under Part H, and new circuits or changes to the wiring in the room are notifiable under Part P. If the wet room is a newly formed bathroom, Approved Document F requires extract of 15 litres per second intermittent or 8 litres per second continuous.

Is the water hard in Ellesmere Port?

Is a wet room better than a walk-in shower?

A wet room gives a completely level floor and a seamless finish, but costs more because the whole floor is tanked. A walk-in shower uses a low-profile tray and a glass panel, is quicker to fit and costs less. If you need level access, a wet room is the right choice; if you just want an open shower, a walk-in is usually enough. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers goes further.
