Working in Oswestry

In Oswestry we cover SY11; we also cover Shrewsbury, 16.4 miles away, and Wellington.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Oswestry: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Oswestry home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options. If your Oswestry 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 Shropshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Oswestry. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
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
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

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.

Eaves storage

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

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.

Loft bathrooms in Oswestry: questions

How much should I budget for a loft bathroom in Oswestry?

Do you cover SY11 in Oswestry?

Yes. We cover all of Oswestry, including SY11, and nearby Shrewsbury, Wellington and Telford. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Oswestry?

Is a bath too heavy for a loft floor?

A standard acrylic bath is usually fine on a loft floor built for a conversion, but a filled bath with someone in it is heavy, and stone-resin or cast-iron baths are much heavier still. We check the joist size, span and direction at the survey, and a heavy bath may need a structural check and strengthening first.
