Working in Ross on Wye

We cover every part of Ross on Wye, including HR9, and nearby Ledbury (10.2 miles) and Hereford (11.6 miles).

Ross on Wye gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Ross on Wye home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. If your Ross on Wye loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have.

Supplies across most of Herefordshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Ross on Wye. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

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
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.

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.
