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 the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
- 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
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.
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.
