Working in Solihull

We cover every part of Solihull, including B90, B91 and B92, and nearby Shirley (1.6 miles) and Acocks Green (2.9 miles).

Solihull 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 Solihull loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have. If your Solihull home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options.

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 Solihull. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
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

Eaves storage

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

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.

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.

Loft bathrooms in Solihull: questions

What is the price of a loft bathroom in Solihull?

Is the water hard in Solihull?

Who handles building control for a loft bathroom in Solihull?

Building control for Solihull 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 do you ventilate a loft bathroom?

A loft bathroom fan is usually ducted through the roof to a tile or slate vent, or out through a gable wall. The duct should be insulated where it crosses a cold space, so condensation does not run back into the fan. A roof window helps with daylight and airing but does not replace the fan.
