Working in Aston
We work right across Aston — B6, B7 and B19 — and in neighbouring Birmingham and Washwood Heath.
In Aston, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Aston house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. If your Aston home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options.
Hardness differs from one part of the West Midlands to the next. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Aston. 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 drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
- Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
- 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
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.
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.
