Working in Great Yarmouth
We work right across Great Yarmouth — NR29, NR30 and NR31 — and in neighbouring Norwich and East Dereham.
In Great Yarmouth, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Great Yarmouth loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have. If your Great Yarmouth 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 Norfolk has very hard water. If your supply in Great Yarmouth 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
- Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
- A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
- A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
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.
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.
