Working in Sittingbourne

As well as Sittingbourne itself (ME9, ME10 and ME12), we survey in Faversham, Gillingham and Chatham.

In Sittingbourne, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Sittingbourne home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options. We plan loft bathrooms in Sittingbourne around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage.

Most of Kent has very hard water. If your supply in Sittingbourne 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 check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
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
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover

Decisions to make first

Eaves storage

Low cupboards built into the slope behind the WC or basin take clutter out of the room and hide the pipework.

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.

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.

Do you cover ME9 in Sittingbourne?

Is the water hard in Sittingbourne?

Can you put a toilet in a loft?

Yes, if the waste can fall to the soil stack or a macerator can be used. Gravity drainage is the first choice; a macerator is only allowed where the home already has a WC on gravity drainage, which in most houses means the main bathroom.
