Working in Ellesmere Port
We cover every part of Ellesmere Port, including CH64, CH65 and CH66, and nearby Garston (3.8 miles) and Speke (5 miles).
Homes in and around Ellesmere Port vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We plan loft bathrooms in Ellesmere Port around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage. If your Ellesmere Port loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have.
Supplies across most of Cheshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Ellesmere Port. 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
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
- A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
- A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
