Working in Loughborough

We cover every part of Loughborough, including LE11 and LE12, and nearby Mountsorrel (4 miles) and Coalville (7.7 miles).

Homes in and around Loughborough vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Loughborough home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. If your Loughborough 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.

Supplies across most of Leicestershire are hard. If your supply in Loughborough is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

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
A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover

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.

Eaves storage

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

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.

Is the home survey in Loughborough 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 LE11 and LE12 in Loughborough?

Yes. We cover all of Loughborough, including LE11 and LE12, and nearby Mountsorrel, Coalville and Leicester. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
