Working in Ramsgate
We cover every part of Ramsgate, including CT10, CT11 and CT12, and nearby Broadstairs (1.9 miles) and Margate (3.4 miles).
Homes in and around Ramsgate vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Ramsgate 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. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Ramsgate home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.
Most of Kent has very hard water. If your supply in Ramsgate 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
- Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
- A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
- A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
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.
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.
