Working in Poulton-le-Fylde

We cover every part of Poulton-le-Fylde, including FY2, FY3 and FY6, and nearby Blackpool (3 miles) and Thornton-Cleveleys (3.2 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Poulton-le-Fylde: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Poulton-le-Fylde home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options. If your Poulton-le-Fylde 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.

Most of Lancashire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Poulton-le-Fylde, 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

Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
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

Decisions to make first

Bath or no bath

A bath under the slope makes good use of low space, but the floor has to carry it when it is full of water and someone is in it.

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.

What is the price of a loft bathroom in Poulton-le-Fylde?

A loft bathroom in Poulton-le-Fylde usually costs £6,100–£12,250 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose.

Is the home survey in Poulton-le-Fylde really free?

Do you cover FY2 in Poulton-le-Fylde?

Yes. We cover all of Poulton-le-Fylde, including FY2, FY3 and FY6, and nearby Blackpool, Thornton-Cleveleys and Lytham St Annes. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Poulton-le-Fylde?

Do I need a pump for a loft shower?

You need a pump if your hot water comes from a cylinder fed by a cold tank, because the tank usually sits at or below the height of a loft shower and gives almost no pressure. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure, so no pump is needed, though the flow can drop when other taps run. Shower pumps must only be used on gravity systems, never connected to the mains.
