Working in St Ives

We work right across St Ives — PE27 — and in neighbouring Huntingdon and St Neots.

St Ives gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed St Ives home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. We plan loft bathrooms in St Ives around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage.

Water across much of Cambridgeshire is very hard. If your supply in St Ives 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 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
A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover

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.

Roof window

A roof window over the bath or shower brings daylight and fresh air, but plan the blind for privacy and expect condensation on cold glass.

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 water hard in St Ives?

Can you put a toilet in a loft?

Yes, if the waste can fall to the soil stack or a macerator can be used. Gravity drainage is the first choice; a macerator is only allowed where the home already has a WC on gravity drainage, which in most houses means the main bathroom.
