Working in Stevenage
As well as Stevenage itself (SG1 and SG2), we survey in Hitchin, Letchworth Garden City and Welwyn Garden City.
Across a large town like Stevenage, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Stevenage house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. If your Stevenage loft shower is weak or the waste drains slowly, the fix is often in the pump or the pipe fall rather than the shower itself.
Most of Hertfordshire has very hard water. If your supply in Stevenage 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 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
- 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
Decisions to make first
Gravity or pumped waste
Gravity is silent and maintenance-free. A pumped waste or macerator lets fittings sit away from the stack, provided the house has a WC on gravity drainage elsewhere.
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.
