Working in Wellington

As well as Wellington itself (TF1 and TF5), we survey in Telford, Shrewsbury and Stafford.

Wellington gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Wellington 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 Wellington home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.

Supplies across most of Shropshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Wellington. 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
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
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover

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 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 Wellington: questions

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

A loft bathroom in Wellington usually costs £6,400–£12,750 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the water hard in Wellington?

Who handles building control for a loft bathroom in Wellington?

Building control for Wellington is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does a loft bathroom take?

Allow 6–12 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Wellington.

Can you put a toilet in a loft?

Yes, if the waste can fall to the soil stack or a macerator can be used. Gravity drainage is the first choice; a macerator is only allowed where the home already has a WC on gravity drainage, which in most houses means the main bathroom.
