Working in Fleet

In Fleet we cover GU13, GU51 and GU52; we also cover Farnborough, 3.4 miles away, and Aldershot.

In Fleet, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Fleet loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have. If your Fleet house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump.

Water across much of Hampshire is hard. If your supply in Fleet 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
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level

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.

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.

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 Fleet: questions

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

A loft bathroom in Fleet usually costs £7,300–£14,500 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the water hard in Fleet?

Who handles building control for a loft bathroom in Fleet?

Building control for Fleet is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does a loft bathroom take?

Allow 6–12 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Fleet.

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.
