Working in Bexhill-on-Sea

As well as Bexhill-on-Sea itself (TN38, TN39 and TN40), we survey in Hastings, Hailsham and Eastbourne.

Homes in and around Bexhill-on-Sea vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Bexhill-on-Sea home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Bexhill-on-Sea home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.

Water across much of East Sussex is hard. If your supply in Bexhill-on-Sea 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

Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit

Decisions to make first

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.

Eaves storage

Low cupboards built into the slope behind the WC or basin take clutter out of the room and hide the pipework.

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.

Electric shower or pumped shower in a loft?

An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows, so it works in a loft whatever your hot-water system, but its flow is lower than a good pumped or mains-pressure mixer and it needs its own electrical circuit. A pumped mixer gives a stronger shower on a gravity system. See choosing a shower for the full comparison.
