Working in Leyland
As well as Leyland itself (PR25 and PR26), we survey in Chorley, Preston and Horwich.
Homes in and around Leyland vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Leyland loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Leyland 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 Leyland, 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 shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
- A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
- A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
- A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
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.
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.
