Walton-on-the-Naze gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Walton-on-the-Naze home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. We plan loft bathrooms in Walton-on-the-Naze around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage.
Most of Essex has very hard water. If your supply in Walton-on-the-Naze 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 drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
- A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
- A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
- An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
