Working in Newcastle under Lyme
In Newcastle under Lyme we cover ST5; we also cover Stoke-on-Trent, 2 miles away, and Longton.
Across a large town like Newcastle under Lyme, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Newcastle under Lyme home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Newcastle under Lyme home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.
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 Newcastle under Lyme. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- 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
- 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
Decisions to make first
Eaves storage
Low cupboards built into the slope behind the WC or basin take clutter out of the room and hide the pipework.
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.
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.
