Working in Amersham on the Hill
In Amersham on the Hill we cover HP5, HP6 and HP7; we also cover Amersham, 0.7 miles away, and Chesham.
Amersham on the Hill gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Amersham on the Hill 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. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Amersham on the Hill home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.
Most of Buckinghamshire has hard water. If your supply in Amersham on the Hill 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 check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
- A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
- A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
- An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
Decisions to make first
Where the shower goes
Under the ridge or in a dormer, where the full height is. A walk-in shower with a single panel is usually easier to fit to a roof line than a framed enclosure.
Eaves storage
Low cupboards built into the slope behind the WC or basin take clutter out of the room and hide the pipework.
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.
