Working in Greenock

In Greenock we cover PA14, PA15, PA16 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Helensburgh, 4.2 miles away, and Dunoon.

In Greenock, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Greenock loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Greenock home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.

Most of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Greenock, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Scotland

In Scotland, forming a new bathroom in the loft or altering the drainage may need a building warrant. The Technical Handbook uses 15 litres per second extract for a bathroom, and water fittings are covered by the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014.

How much headroom do you need for a loft shower?
