Working in Sunderland
We work right across Sunderland — SR1, SR2, SR6 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Seaham and Washington.
Sunderland is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Sunderland home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. If your Sunderland home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options.
Water across much of Tyne and Wear is soft. If that holds for your street in Sunderland, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
- Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
- 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 your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
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.
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.
