Working in Nelson

We cover every part of Nelson, including BB8, BB9 and BB10, and nearby Colne (2.1 miles) and Burnley (2.7 miles).

Homes in and around Nelson vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Nelson 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. We plan loft bathrooms in Nelson around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage.

Most of Lancashire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Nelson, 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

Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
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 your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces

Decisions to make first

Eaves storage

Low cupboards built into the slope behind the WC or basin take clutter out of the room and hide the pipework.

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.

Loft bathrooms in Nelson: questions

How much should I budget for a loft bathroom in Nelson?

Is the home survey in Nelson really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover BB8 in Nelson?

Yes. We cover all of Nelson, including BB8, BB9 and BB10, and nearby Colne, Burnley and Accrington. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Nelson?

How much headroom do you need for a loft shower?

Plan for around 2 m of clear height over the whole shower area, and enough standing height in front of the basin and WC. A bath can sit lower under the slope as long as you can stand up where you get in and out. We mark the usable height at each position on the survey drawing.
