Working in Ashton-under-Lyne
In Ashton-under-Lyne we cover M34, M43, OL6 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover Dukinfield, 1.1 miles away, and Stalybridge.
Homes in and around Ashton-under-Lyne vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Ashton-under-Lyne house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. If your Ashton-under-Lyne 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 Manchester are soft. If that holds for your street in Ashton-under-Lyne, 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 shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
- 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
- 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.
