Working in Brierley Hill

In Brierley Hill we cover DY2, DY5 and DY8; we also cover Stourbridge, 2 miles away, and Dudley.

In Brierley Hill, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Brierley Hill loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Brierley Hill home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.

Supplies across the West Midlands range from soft to hard depending on the source. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Brierley Hill. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
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 check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit

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.

Roof window

A roof window over the bath or shower brings daylight and fresh air, but plan the blind for privacy and expect condensation on cold glass.

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 Brierley Hill?

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.
