Working in Huntingdon

In Huntingdon we cover PE29; we also cover St Ives, 4.6 miles away, and St Neots.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Huntingdon: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Huntingdon loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have. If your Huntingdon home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options.

Supplies across most of Cambridgeshire are very hard. If your supply in Huntingdon 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
Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces

Decisions to make first

Bath or no bath

A bath under the slope makes good use of low space, but the floor has to carry it when it is full of water and someone is in it.

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.

Is the home survey in Huntingdon really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Electric shower or pumped shower in a loft?

An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows, so it works in a loft whatever your hot-water system, but its flow is lower than a good pumped or mains-pressure mixer and it needs its own electrical circuit. A pumped mixer gives a stronger shower on a gravity system. See choosing a shower for the full comparison.
