Working in Ashton in Makerfield
We cover every part of Ashton in Makerfield, including WA11, WA12 and WN4, and nearby Haydock (1.7 miles) and Golborne (2.2 miles).
Homes in and around Ashton in Makerfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We plan loft bathrooms in Ashton in Makerfield around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage. If your Ashton in Makerfield 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.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Ashton in Makerfield, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- 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 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
