Working in Chesterfield

We work right across Chesterfield — S40 and S41 — and in neighbouring Staveley and Dronfield.

Across a large town like Chesterfield, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Chesterfield home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. We plan loft bathrooms in Chesterfield around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage.

Supplies across most of Derbyshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Chesterfield. 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 shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Chesterfield 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 S40 and S41 in Chesterfield?

Yes. We cover all of Chesterfield, including S40 and S41, and nearby Staveley, Dronfield and Sheffield. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
