Working in Tyldesley
We cover every part of Tyldesley, including M29, M38 and M46, and nearby Atherton (1.3 miles) and Leigh (2.5 miles).
Homes in and around Tyldesley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Tyldesley house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. We plan loft bathrooms in Tyldesley 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 Tyldesley, 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 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 the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
