Working in Basingstoke
As well as Basingstoke itself (RG21, RG22, RG23 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Tadley, Alton and Fleet.
Basingstoke has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Basingstoke home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. If your Basingstoke loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have.
Supplies across most of Hampshire are hard. If your supply in Basingstoke is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. 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 shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
- 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
Gravity or pumped waste
Gravity is silent and maintenance-free. A pumped waste or macerator lets fittings sit away from the stack, provided the house has a WC on gravity drainage elsewhere.
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.
