Working in Plymstock
We work right across Plymstock — PL9 — and in neighbouring Plymouth and Saltash.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Plymstock: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Plymstock home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options. If your Plymstock 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.
Most of Devon is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Plymstock, 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 shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
- 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
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.
Roof window
A roof window over the bath or shower brings daylight and fresh air, but plan the blind for privacy and expect condensation on cold glass.
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.
