Working in Burton upon Trent
As well as Burton upon Trent itself (DE14 and DE15), we survey in Swadlincote, Derby and Lichfield.
Burton upon Trent has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. We plan loft bathrooms in Burton upon Trent around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage. If your Burton upon Trent house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump.
Water across much of Staffordshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Burton upon Trent. 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 shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
- A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
- 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
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.
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.
