Working in Redcar

In Redcar we cover TS6 and TS10; we also cover Guisborough, 5.7 miles away, and Middlesbrough.

Homes in and around Redcar vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Redcar home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options. If your Redcar 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 North Yorkshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Redcar. 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
A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover

Decisions to make first

Gravity or pumped waste

Gravity is silent and maintenance-free. A pumped waste or macerator lets fittings sit away from the stack, provided the house has a WC on gravity drainage elsewhere.

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.

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 Redcar 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.
