Working in Woking

In Woking we cover GU21 and GU22; we also cover Chertsey, 5.3 miles away, and Weybridge.

Woking has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Woking loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have. We plan loft bathrooms in Woking around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage.

Water across much of Surrey is hard. If your supply in Woking 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
A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system

Decisions to make first

Eaves storage

Low cupboards built into the slope behind the WC or basin take clutter out of the room and hide the pipework.

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 water hard in Woking?

Who handles building control for a loft bathroom in Woking?

Building control for Woking 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.

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.
