Working in Lofthouse
We work right across Lofthouse — LS10, LS26 and WF3 — and in neighbouring Wakefield and Morley.
Lofthouse gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Lofthouse loft shower is weak or the waste drains slowly, the fix is often in the pump or the pipe fall rather than the shower itself. If your Lofthouse house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump.
Most of West Yorkshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Lofthouse, 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 check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
- Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
- 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
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.
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.
