Working in Banbury

In Banbury we cover OX16; we also cover Bicester, 13.8 miles away, and Daventry.

In Banbury, 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 Banbury around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage. If your Banbury loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have.

Most of Oxfordshire has hard water. If your supply in Banbury 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 your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
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

Roof window

A roof window over the bath or shower brings daylight and fresh air, but plan the blind for privacy and expect condensation on cold glass.

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.

Is the home survey in Banbury 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 OX16 in Banbury?

Yes. We cover all of Banbury, including OX16, and nearby Bicester, Daventry and Royal Leamington Spa. 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.
