Working in Stanford-le-Hope

We cover every part of Stanford-le-Hope, including SS16 and SS17, and nearby Basildon (3.3 miles) and Pitsea (4.3 miles).

Homes in and around Stanford-le-Hope 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 Stanford-le-Hope home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. If your Stanford-le-Hope 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.

Supplies across most of Essex are very hard. If your supply in Stanford-le-Hope 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 survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
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 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.

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.
