Working in Kirkby

As well as Kirkby itself (L32 and L33), we survey in Maghull, Litherland and Prescot.

In Kirkby, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We plan loft bathrooms in Kirkby around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage. If your Kirkby house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump.

Supplies across most of Merseyside are soft. If that holds for your street in Kirkby, 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 check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces

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.

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.

A loft bathroom in Kirkby usually costs £6,100–£12,250 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the home survey in Kirkby 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 L32 and L33 in Kirkby?

Yes. We cover all of Kirkby, including L32 and L33, and nearby Maghull, Litherland and Prescot. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Kirkby?

Can you put a toilet in a loft?

Yes, if the waste can fall to the soil stack or a macerator can be used. Gravity drainage is the first choice; a macerator is only allowed where the home already has a WC on gravity drainage, which in most houses means the main bathroom.
