Working in Blackpool
We cover every part of Blackpool, including FY1, FY2, FY3 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Poulton-le-Fylde (3 miles) and Thornton-Cleveleys (4.1 miles).
Blackpool has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Blackpool home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Blackpool home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.
Water across much of Lancashire is soft. If that holds for your street in Blackpool, 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 survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
- A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
- An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
- Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
