Working in Northwich

We work right across Northwich — CW9 — and in neighbouring Winsford and Warrington.

Homes in and around Northwich vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Northwich 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. We plan loft bathrooms in Northwich around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage.

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 Northwich. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

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
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system

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.

Gravity or pumped waste

Gravity is silent and maintenance-free. A pumped waste or macerator lets fittings sit away from the stack, provided the house has a WC on gravity drainage elsewhere.

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 Northwich?

Who handles building control for a loft bathroom in Northwich?

Building control for Northwich is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does a loft bathroom take?

Allow 6–12 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Northwich.

How much headroom do you need for a loft shower?

Plan for around 2 m of clear height over the whole shower area, and enough standing height in front of the basin and WC. A bath can sit lower under the slope as long as you can stand up where you get in and out. We mark the usable height at each position on the survey drawing.
