Working in Wilmslow
In Wilmslow we cover M90, SK8 and SK9; we also cover Bramhall, 3.4 miles away, and Cheadle Hulme.
In Wilmslow, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Wilmslow home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. If your Wilmslow 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.
Most of Cheshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Wilmslow. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
- A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
- 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.
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.
