Working in Eccles
We cover every part of Eccles, including M6, M17 and M30, and nearby Swinton (1.3 miles) and Salford (1.8 miles).
In Eccles, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Eccles 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. If your Eccles house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump.
Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are soft. If that holds for your street in Eccles, 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
- An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
- 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 check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
Decisions to make first
Roof window
A roof window over the bath or shower brings daylight and fresh air, but plan the blind for privacy and expect condensation on cold glass.
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.
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.
