Working in Ramsbottom

We cover every part of Ramsbottom, including BL0, and nearby Bury (3.4 miles) and Haslingden (3.8 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Ramsbottom: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Ramsbottom house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. We plan loft bathrooms in Ramsbottom around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage.

Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are soft. If that holds for your street in Ramsbottom, 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

Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level

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.

How much headroom do you need for a loft shower?
