Working in Lichfield

In Lichfield we cover WS13; we also cover Burntwood, 4.3 miles away, and Tamworth.

Homes in and around Lichfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Lichfield home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. If your Lichfield house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump.

Supplies across most of Staffordshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Lichfield. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

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
A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover

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.

Yes. We cover all of Lichfield, including WS13, and nearby Burntwood, Tamworth and Aldridge. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do I need a pump for a loft shower?

You need a pump if your hot water comes from a cylinder fed by a cold tank, because the tank usually sits at or below the height of a loft shower and gives almost no pressure. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure, so no pump is needed, though the flow can drop when other taps run. Shower pumps must only be used on gravity systems, never connected to the mains.
