Working in Brent

We cover every part of Brent, including HA0, HA9, NW2 and 2 more postcode districts, and nearby Harrow (2.2 miles) and Bushey (6.7 miles).

In Brent, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. We plan loft bathrooms in Brent around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage. If your Brent 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 Greater London is very hard. If your supply in Brent 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 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
A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

More about loft bathrooms

Loft bathrooms in Brent: questions

What is the price of a loft bathroom in Brent?

A loft bathroom in Brent usually costs £8,100–£16,250 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover HA0 in Brent?

Is the water hard in Brent?

Who handles building control for a loft bathroom in Brent?

Building control for Brent is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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.
