Working in Glossop

In Glossop we cover SK13; we also cover Stalybridge, 5.3 miles away, and Hyde.

Glossop gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Glossop 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. If your Glossop house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump.

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 Glossop. 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
Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
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

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.

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.

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.
