Working in Yarm

As well as Yarm itself (TS15, TS16 and TS17), we survey in Thornaby-on-Tees, Stockton-on-Tees and Billingham.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Yarm: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Yarm house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. If your Yarm 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 County Durham has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Yarm. 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
A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage

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.

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.

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 Yarm?

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.
