Working in Hastings
We work right across Hastings — TN34, TN35, TN37 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Bexhill-on-Sea and Hailsham.
Hastings has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Hastings home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. If your Hastings loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have.
Most of East Sussex has hard water. If your supply in Hastings 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
- A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
- 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 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
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.
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.
