Working in Arnold

We work right across Arnold — NG3, NG5 and NG6 — and in neighbouring Nottingham and Hucknall.

In Arnold, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We plan loft bathrooms in Arnold around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage. If your Arnold loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have.

Water across much of Nottinghamshire is hard. If your supply in Arnold 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 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
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

Eaves storage

Low cupboards built into the slope behind the WC or basin take clutter out of the room and hide the pipework.

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.

What is the price of a loft bathroom in Arnold?

A loft bathroom in Arnold usually costs £6,200–£12,500 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Who handles building control for a loft bathroom in Arnold?

Building control for Arnold is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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 Arnold.

Is the home survey in Arnold 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.
