Working in Wallasey

As well as Wallasey itself (CH44 and CH45), we survey in Moreton, Birkenhead and Bootle.

Homes in and around Wallasey 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 Wallasey home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. If your Wallasey loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have.

Supplies across most of Merseyside are soft. If that holds for your street in Wallasey, 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
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
A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit

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.

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.

Who handles building control for a loft bathroom in Wallasey?

Is the home survey in Wallasey 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.

Electric shower or pumped shower in a loft?

An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows, so it works in a loft whatever your hot-water system, but its flow is lower than a good pumped or mains-pressure mixer and it needs its own electrical circuit. A pumped mixer gives a stronger shower on a gravity system. See choosing a shower for the full comparison.
