Working in Rugeley

We work right across Rugeley — WS15 — and in neighbouring Burntwood and Cannock.

In Rugeley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Rugeley loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have. If your Rugeley home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options.

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 Rugeley. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
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 survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit

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.

Who handles building control for a loft bathroom in Rugeley?

Building control for Rugeley 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.

Electric shower or pumped shower in a loft?

An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows, so it works in a loft whatever your hot-water system, but its flow is lower than a good pumped or mains-pressure mixer and it needs its own electrical circuit. A pumped mixer gives a stronger shower on a gravity system. See choosing a shower for the full comparison.
