Working in Market Harborough
We work right across Market Harborough — LE16 — and in neighbouring Corby and Kettering.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Market Harborough: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Market Harborough house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Market Harborough home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.
Most of Northamptonshire has hard water. If your supply in Market Harborough 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
- A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
- A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
- A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
- An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
Decisions to make first
Eaves storage
Low cupboards built into the slope behind the WC or basin take clutter out of the room and hide the pipework.
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.
