Working in Heywood
As well as Heywood itself (OL10), we survey in Middleton, Rochdale and Bury.
In Heywood, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Heywood home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Heywood home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.
Water across much of Greater Manchester is soft. If that holds for your street in Heywood, 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
- Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
- A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
Decisions to make first
Eaves storage
Low cupboards built into the slope behind the WC or basin take clutter out of the room and hide the pipework.
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.
