Working in Maidenhead

We work right across Maidenhead — SL6 — and in neighbouring Marlow and Slough.

In Maidenhead, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Maidenhead loft shower is weak or the waste drains slowly, the fix is often in the pump or the pipe fall rather than the shower itself. If your Maidenhead home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options.

Water across much of Berkshire is hard. If your supply in Maidenhead 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 drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level

Decisions to make first

Eaves storage

Low cupboards built into the slope behind the WC or basin take clutter out of the room and hide the pipework.

Getting the water pressure

A pumped shower suits a gravity system with a cold tank; an electric shower heats cold mains water at the point of use; a combi or unvented cylinder gives mains pressure throughout.

Rules that apply in England

In England, new drainage and a new connection to the soil stack fall under Part H, a new bathroom needs extract of 15 litres per second intermittent or 8 litres per second continuous under Approved Document F, and new circuits are notifiable under Part P. If the work includes an unvented hot-water cylinder, it must be fitted by a G3-qualified installer.

Do you cover SL6 in Maidenhead?

Is the water hard in Maidenhead?

Is a bath too heavy for a loft floor?

A standard acrylic bath is usually fine on a loft floor built for a conversion, but a filled bath with someone in it is heavy, and stone-resin or cast-iron baths are much heavier still. We check the joist size, span and direction at the survey, and a heavy bath may need a structural check and strengthening first.
