Working in Bury

As well as Bury itself (BL8, BL9, M25 and 2 more postcode districts), we survey in Radcliffe, Heywood and Ramsbottom.

Homes in and around Bury vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Bury house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. If your Bury home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options.

Water across much of Greater Manchester is soft. If that holds for your street in Bury, 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 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
A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover

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.

Eaves storage

Low cupboards built into the slope behind the WC or basin take clutter out of the room and hide the pipework.

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.

Loft bathrooms in Bury: questions

What is the price of a loft bathroom in Bury?

Is the home survey in Bury really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover BL8 in Bury?

Yes. We cover all of Bury, including BL8, BL9, M25, M26 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Radcliffe, Heywood and Ramsbottom. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Bury?

Can you put a toilet in a loft?

Yes, if the waste can fall to the soil stack or a macerator can be used. Gravity drainage is the first choice; a macerator is only allowed where the home already has a WC on gravity drainage, which in most houses means the main bathroom.
