Working in Sutton in Ashfield
In Sutton in Ashfield we cover NG15 and NG17; we also cover Kirkby in Ashfield, 1.9 miles away, and Mansfield.
Homes in and around Sutton in Ashfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We plan loft bathrooms in Sutton in Ashfield around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Sutton in Ashfield home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.
Supplies across most of Nottinghamshire are hard. If your supply in Sutton in Ashfield 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 survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
- A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
- A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
- A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
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.
