Working in Eastleigh

We cover every part of Eastleigh, including SO50 and SO53, and nearby Hedge End (4.3 miles) and Southampton (4.9 miles).

Homes in and around Eastleigh vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Eastleigh house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. If your Eastleigh loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have.

Most of Hampshire has hard water. If your supply in Eastleigh 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

An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
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

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.

Loft bathrooms in Eastleigh: questions

How much should I budget for a loft bathroom in Eastleigh?

How long does a loft bathroom take?

Is the home survey in Eastleigh really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover SO50 and SO53 in Eastleigh?

Yes. We cover all of Eastleigh, including SO50 and SO53, and nearby Hedge End, Southampton and Romsey. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do I need a pump for a loft shower?

You need a pump if your hot water comes from a cylinder fed by a cold tank, because the tank usually sits at or below the height of a loft shower and gives almost no pressure. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure, so no pump is needed, though the flow can drop when other taps run. Shower pumps must only be used on gravity systems, never connected to the mains.
