Working in Burnley
In Burnley we cover BB10 and BB11; we also cover Nelson, 2.7 miles away, and Colne.
Burnley 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 Burnley 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. If your Burnley loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have.
Supplies across most of Lancashire are soft. If that holds for your street in Burnley, 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 the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
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.
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.
