Working in Clacton-on-Sea

We work right across Clacton-on-Sea — CO15 — and in neighbouring Frinton-on-Sea and Walton-on-the-Naze.

In Clacton-on-Sea, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We plan loft bathrooms in Clacton-on-Sea around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage. If your Clacton-on-Sea loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have.

Water across much of Essex is very hard. If your supply in Clacton-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

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 shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces

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.

Gravity or pumped waste

Gravity is silent and maintenance-free. A pumped waste or macerator lets fittings sit away from the stack, provided the house has a WC on gravity drainage elsewhere.

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.

Can you put a toilet in a loft?
