Working in Caterham
We work right across Caterham — CR3, CR6 and RH9 — and in neighbouring Coulsdon and Purley.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Caterham: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Caterham loft shower is weak or the waste drains slowly, the fix is often in the pump or the pipe fall rather than the shower itself. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Caterham home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.
Most of Surrey has hard water. If your supply in Caterham is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- 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 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
- A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
Decisions to make first
Bath or no bath
A bath under the slope makes good use of low space, but the floor has to carry it when it is full of water and someone is in it.
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.
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.
