Working in Shrewsbury
In Shrewsbury we cover SY1, SY2 and SY3; we also cover Wellington, 9.9 miles away, and Telford.
Across a large town like Shrewsbury, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Shrewsbury loft shower is weak or the waste drains slowly, the fix is often in the pump or the pipe fall rather than the shower itself. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Shrewsbury home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.
Water across much of Shropshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Shrewsbury. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
- A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
- An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
- 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.
