Working in Heckmondwike

We work right across Heckmondwike — WF13, WF15 and WF16 — and in neighbouring Liversedge and Batley.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Heckmondwike: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Heckmondwike 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 Heckmondwike home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.

Most of West Yorkshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Heckmondwike, 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 survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces

Decisions to make first

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.

Eaves storage

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

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 Heckmondwike?

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.
