Working in Tewkesbury

We cover every part of Tewkesbury, including GL20, and nearby Cheltenham (7.2 miles) and Gloucester (9.4 miles).

Tewkesbury gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Tewkesbury house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Tewkesbury home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.

Supplies across most of Gloucestershire are hard. If your supply in Tewkesbury 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
A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system

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.

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.

Do you cover GL20 in Tewkesbury?

Yes. We cover all of Tewkesbury, including GL20, and nearby Cheltenham, Gloucester and Great Malvern. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do I need a pump for a loft shower?

You need a pump if your hot water comes from a cylinder fed by a cold tank, because the tank usually sits at or below the height of a loft shower and gives almost no pressure. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure, so no pump is needed, though the flow can drop when other taps run. Shower pumps must only be used on gravity systems, never connected to the mains.
