Working in Abingdon
As well as Abingdon itself (OX13 and OX14), we survey in Didcot, Cowley and Oxford.
Homes in and around Abingdon vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Abingdon home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. If your Abingdon 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 Oxfordshire are hard. If your supply in Abingdon 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
- An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
- A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
- A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
- A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
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.
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.
