Working in St Neots

In St Neots we cover PE19; we also cover Huntingdon, 8.6 miles away, and Biggleswade.

In St Neots, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your St Neots house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. If your St Neots 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.

Supplies across most of Cambridgeshire are very hard. If your supply in St Neots 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 survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 PE19 in St Neots?

Yes. We cover all of St Neots, including PE19, and nearby Huntingdon, Biggleswade and Bedford. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in St Neots?

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.
