Working in Billericay
We work right across Billericay — CM12 — and in neighbouring Basildon and Wickford.
Homes in and around Billericay vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Billericay home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. If your Billericay 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.
Water across much of Essex is very hard. If your supply in Billericay 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
- An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
- A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
- A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
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.
Getting the water pressure
A pumped shower suits a gravity system with a cold tank; an electric shower heats cold mains water at the point of use; a combi or unvented cylinder gives mains pressure throughout.
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.
