Working in Workington
We work right across Workington — CA14 — and in neighbouring Whitehaven and Carlisle.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Workington: free survey, written quote, one team. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Workington home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. If your Workington home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options.
Supplies across most of Cumbria are soft. If that holds for your street in Workington, 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
- A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
- A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
