Working in Longton

We work right across Longton — ST3, ST4 and ST12 — and in neighbouring Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle under Lyme.

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

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 Longton. 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
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

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.

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.

More about loft bathrooms

Loft bathrooms in Longton: questions

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

A loft bathroom in Longton 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.

Who handles building control for a loft bathroom in Longton?

Building control for Longton 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 Longton.

Is the home survey in Longton 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.

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.
