Working in Barnsley

In Barnsley we cover S63, S70, S71 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Darton, 3.1 miles away, and Hoyland Nether.

Homes in and around Barnsley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Barnsley house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. We plan loft bathrooms in Barnsley around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage.

Water across much of South Yorkshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Barnsley. 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 check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
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

Roof window

A roof window over the bath or shower brings daylight and fresh air, but plan the blind for privacy and expect condensation on cold glass.

Gravity or pumped waste

Gravity is silent and maintenance-free. A pumped waste or macerator lets fittings sit away from the stack, provided the house has a WC on gravity drainage elsewhere.

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 Barnsley: questions

Is the water hard in Barnsley?

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.
