Working in Larkhall
In Larkhall we cover ML9; we also cover Wishaw, 3 miles away, and Hamilton.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Larkhall: free survey, written quote, one team. We plan loft bathrooms in Larkhall around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Larkhall home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.
Water across much of Lanarkshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Larkhall, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
- Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
- A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
Decisions to make first
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.
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 Scotland
In Scotland, forming a new bathroom in the loft or altering the drainage may need a building warrant. The Technical Handbook uses 15 litres per second extract for a bathroom, and water fittings are covered by the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014.
