Working in Golborne

In Golborne we cover WA3, WA12 and WN4; we also cover Newton-le-Willows, 1.9 miles away, and Ashton in Makerfield.

Golborne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Golborne home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. We plan loft bathrooms in Golborne around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage.

Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Golborne, 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 survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover

Decisions to make first

Roof window

A roof window over the bath or shower brings daylight and fresh air, but plan the blind for privacy and expect condensation on cold glass.

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.

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.

Do you cover WA3 in Golborne?

Yes. We cover all of Golborne, including WA3, WA12 and WN4, and nearby Newton-le-Willows, Ashton in Makerfield and Leigh. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Golborne?

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.
