Working in Stoke-on-Trent

We work right across Stoke-on-Trent — ST1, ST2, ST3 and 3 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Newcastle under Lyme and Kidsgrove.

Stoke-on-Trent is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We plan loft bathrooms in Stoke-on-Trent around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Stoke-on-Trent home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.

Most of Staffordshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Stoke-on-Trent. 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 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
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

Gravity or pumped waste

Gravity is silent and maintenance-free. A pumped waste or macerator lets fittings sit away from the stack, provided the house has a WC on gravity drainage elsewhere.

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.

How much should I budget for a loft bathroom in Stoke-on-Trent?

Is the water hard in Stoke-on-Trent?

Who handles building control for a loft bathroom in Stoke-on-Trent?

Building control for Stoke-on-Trent 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.

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.
