Working in Horwich
We work right across Horwich — BL6 — and in neighbouring Westhoughton and Chorley.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Horwich: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Horwich 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 Horwich home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options.
Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are soft. If that holds for your street in Horwich, 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
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
- Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
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.
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.
