Working in Tamworth

We work right across Tamworth — B77 and B78 — and in neighbouring Lichfield and Sutton Coldfield.

Tamworth has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Tamworth home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. If your Tamworth home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options.

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

What the job includes

A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Tamworth 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.

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.
