Working in Tunbridge Wells
In Tunbridge Wells we cover TN1, TN3 and TN4; we also cover Tonbridge, 4.3 miles away, and Crowborough.
Homes in and around Tunbridge Wells vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Tunbridge Wells loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have. If your Tunbridge Wells 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.
Supplies across most of Kent are very hard. If your supply in Tunbridge Wells 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
- 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
- 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
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.
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.
