Working in Esher

As well as Esher itself (KT7 and KT10), we survey in East Molesey, West Molesey and Walton-on-Thames.

Homes in and around Esher vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We plan loft bathrooms in Esher 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 Esher 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 Esher 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 check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
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

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Loft bathrooms in Esher: questions

What is the price of a loft bathroom in Esher?

A loft bathroom in Esher usually costs £7,300–£14,500 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose.

Is the water hard in Esher?

Who handles building control for a loft bathroom in Esher?

Building control for Esher 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.

How long does a loft bathroom take?

Allow 6–12 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Esher.

Can you put a toilet in a loft?

Yes, if the waste can fall to the soil stack or a macerator can be used. Gravity drainage is the first choice; a macerator is only allowed where the home already has a WC on gravity drainage, which in most houses means the main bathroom.
