Working in Exeter

We work right across Exeter — EX1, EX2, EX3 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Exmouth and Tiverton.

Exeter is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If your Exeter house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Exeter home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.

Supplies across most of Devon are soft. If that holds for your street in Exeter, 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

An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
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

Decisions to make first

Gravity or pumped waste

Gravity is silent and maintenance-free. A pumped waste or macerator lets fittings sit away from the stack, provided the house has a WC on gravity drainage elsewhere.

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.

Loft bathrooms in Exeter: questions

What is the price of a loft bathroom in Exeter?

A loft bathroom in Exeter usually costs £6,600–£13,250 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose.

Allow 6–12 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Exeter.

Is the home survey in Exeter 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 EX1 in Exeter?

Yes. We cover all of Exeter, including EX1, EX2, EX3 and EX4, and nearby Exmouth, Tiverton and Newton Abbot. 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.
