Working in Saltash

In Saltash we cover PL12; we also cover Plymouth, 4.5 miles away, and Plymstock.

Saltash gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Saltash house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. We plan loft bathrooms in Saltash around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage.

Supplies across most of Cornwall are soft. If that holds for your street in Saltash, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
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
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces

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.

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.

Loft bathrooms in Saltash: questions

How much should I budget for a loft bathroom in Saltash?

A loft bathroom in Saltash usually costs £6,600–£13,250 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the home survey in Saltash really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover PL12 in Saltash?

Yes. We cover all of Saltash, including PL12, and nearby Plymouth, Plymstock and Bodmin. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Saltash?

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.
