Working in Wimborne Minster

We cover every part of Wimborne Minster, including BH17, BH18 and BH21, and nearby Ferndown (4 miles) and Poole (4.8 miles).

Wimborne Minster gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Wimborne Minster house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. We plan loft bathrooms in Wimborne Minster around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage.

Water across much of Dorset is hard. If your supply in Wimborne Minster is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Wimborne Minster really free?

Do you cover BH17 in Wimborne Minster?

Yes. We cover all of Wimborne Minster, including BH17, BH18 and BH21, and nearby Ferndown, Poole and Bournemouth. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do I need a pump for a loft shower?

You need a pump if your hot water comes from a cylinder fed by a cold tank, because the tank usually sits at or below the height of a loft shower and gives almost no pressure. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure, so no pump is needed, though the flow can drop when other taps run. Shower pumps must only be used on gravity systems, never connected to the mains.
