Working in Muswell Hill

In Muswell Hill we cover N2, N8 and N10; we also cover Wood Green, 1.3 miles away, and Archway.

London homes in Muswell Hill often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. We plan loft bathrooms in Muswell Hill around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage. If your Muswell Hill 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 Greater London are very hard. If your supply in Muswell Hill 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 check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
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.

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.

Do you cover N2 in Muswell Hill?

Yes. We cover all of Muswell Hill, including N2, N8 and N10, and nearby Wood Green, Archway and Finchley. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

How much headroom do you need for a loft shower?
