Working in Ledbury

As well as Ledbury itself (HR8), we survey in Great Malvern, Ross on Wye and Tewkesbury.

Ledbury gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Ledbury 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 Ledbury home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.

Most of Herefordshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Ledbury. 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
A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
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.

More about loft bathrooms

Loft bathrooms in Ledbury: questions

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

A loft bathroom in Ledbury usually costs £6,400–£12,750 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Ledbury 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 HR8 in Ledbury?

Yes. We cover all of Ledbury, including HR8, and nearby Great Malvern, Ross on Wye and Tewkesbury. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Ledbury?

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.
