Working in Corby

We work right across Corby — NN17 and NN18 — and in neighbouring Kettering and Market Harborough.

In Corby, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Corby 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. We plan loft bathrooms in Corby around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage.

Most of Northamptonshire has hard water. If your supply in Corby 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

Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Loft bathrooms in Corby: questions

What is the price of a loft bathroom in Corby?

How long does a loft bathroom take?

Allow 6–12 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Corby.

Is the home survey in Corby 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 NN17 and NN18 in Corby?

Yes. We cover all of Corby, including NN17 and NN18, and nearby Kettering, Market Harborough and Oakham. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
