Working in Waterlooville

In Waterlooville we cover PO7, PO8 and PO9; we also cover Havant, 2.6 miles away, and Emsworth.

In Waterlooville, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Waterlooville home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. We plan loft bathrooms in Waterlooville around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage.

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

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
A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
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.

Roof window

A roof window over the bath or shower brings daylight and fresh air, but plan the blind for privacy and expect condensation on cold glass.

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.

Is the home survey in Waterlooville 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.

Electric shower or pumped shower in a loft?

An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows, so it works in a loft whatever your hot-water system, but its flow is lower than a good pumped or mains-pressure mixer and it needs its own electrical circuit. A pumped mixer gives a stronger shower on a gravity system. See choosing a shower for the full comparison.
