Working in Uckfield
We work right across Uckfield — TN22 — and in neighbouring Crowborough and Lewes.
Uckfield gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Uckfield loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have. We plan loft bathrooms in Uckfield around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage.
Most of East Sussex has hard water. If your supply in Uckfield 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 check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
- An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
- 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
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.
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.
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.
