Working in Sunbury-on-Thames

We work right across Sunbury-on-Thames — KT12, TW16 and TW17 — and in neighbouring Walton-on-Thames and West Molesey.

In Sunbury-on-Thames, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Sunbury-on-Thames home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. We plan loft bathrooms in Sunbury-on-Thames around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage.

Most of Surrey has hard water. If your supply in Sunbury-on-Thames 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
  • Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
  • Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
  • A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position

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.

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.

More about loft bathrooms

Loft bathrooms in Sunbury-on-Thames: questions

What is the price of a loft bathroom in Sunbury-on-Thames?

A loft bathroom in Sunbury-on-Thames usually costs £7,300–£14,500 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the water hard in Sunbury-on-Thames?

Most of Surrey has hard water. If your supply in Sunbury-on-Thames 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.

Who handles building control for a loft bathroom in Sunbury-on-Thames?

Building control for Sunbury-on-Thames 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 Sunbury-on-Thames.

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.
