Working in Middleton
We work right across Middleton — M24 — and in neighbouring Chadderton and Heywood.
Homes in and around Middleton vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Middleton 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 Middleton home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Middleton, 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 survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
- 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
- An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
