Working in Yeovil

We cover every part of Yeovil, including BA20 and BA21, and nearby Dorchester (17.8 miles) and Bridgwater (20.7 miles).

In Yeovil, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Yeovil 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. If your Yeovil home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options.

Most of Somerset has hard water. If your supply in Yeovil 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
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system

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.

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.

More about loft bathrooms

Loft bathrooms in Yeovil: questions

What is the price of a loft bathroom in Yeovil?

A loft bathroom in Yeovil usually costs £6,600–£13,250 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Yeovil 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 BA20 and BA21 in Yeovil?

Yes. We cover all of Yeovil, including BA20 and BA21, and nearby Dorchester, Bridgwater and Taunton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Yeovil?

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.
