Working in Reigate

As well as Reigate itself (RH1, RH2 and RH3), we survey in Redhill, Horley and Dorking.

Reigate gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We plan loft bathrooms in Reigate around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage. If your Reigate 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.

Water across much of Surrey is hard. If your supply in Reigate 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 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

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.

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.

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 Reigate really free?

Do you cover RH1 in Reigate?

Yes. We cover all of Reigate, including RH1, RH2 and RH3, and nearby Redhill, Horley and Dorking. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
