Working in Gosport

As well as Gosport itself (PO12 and PO13), we survey in Portsmouth, Southsea and Fareham.

Across a large town like Gosport, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Gosport house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Gosport home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.

Supplies across most of Hampshire are hard. If your supply in Gosport 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

A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
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

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.

Bath or no bath

A bath under the slope makes good use of low space, but the floor has to carry it when it is full of water and someone is in it.

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 Gosport: questions

What is the price of a loft bathroom in Gosport?

A loft bathroom in Gosport 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.

Do you cover PO12 and PO13 in Gosport?

Yes. We cover all of Gosport, including PO12 and PO13, and nearby Portsmouth, Southsea and Fareham. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Gosport?

Is a bath too heavy for a loft floor?

A standard acrylic bath is usually fine on a loft floor built for a conversion, but a filled bath with someone in it is heavy, and stone-resin or cast-iron baths are much heavier still. We check the joist size, span and direction at the survey, and a heavy bath may need a structural check and strengthening first.
