Loft Shower Room Conversion in Burslem
Compact, well-laid-out ensuites built into bedrooms and loft spaces.
A loft shower room is a different beast to a loft ensuite. In a Burslem conversion the eaves eat half the standing area, the waste has to fight gravity down to the stack, and every millimetre of head height matters at the shower door.
We plan the layout around the ridge line, the purlins and the Velux position — not around a standard tray. The result is a shower room that actually works to stand in, not a corner where you duck.
Ensuite Installation in Burslem isn't a one-template job — every house we walk into reveals something different.

Loft Shower Room Conversion FAQs — Burslem
- Do I need a pumped waste for a loft shower in Burslem?
- Usually yes — most Burslem loft conversions sit above the stack take-off, so a Saniflo or Pumpflush unit handles the shower and basin waste back down to the main run.
- What tray size works under a coombed ceiling?
- 800×800 or 900×760 with the fixed panel on the low side is our standard Burslem loft spec. Bigger trays exist but rarely improve usable head height.
- Can you fit the shower under the ridge?
- That's the goal — put full-height activity (standing under the head) directly under the ridge line, and low-height activity (WC, storage) under the eaves. Standard on Burslem loft jobs.
- How long does a loft shower room take?
- 8–12 working days on a Burslem conversion where the loft shell is already boarded and lit.
- Do you provide a fixed-price quote before starting?
- Always. After a free home visit in Burslem we send a fully itemised, fixed-price quotation — no surprises on invoice day.
- Will an ensuite add value to a Victorian terrace?
- An ensuite in a Burslem Victorian terrace works best when carved out of an over-stairs cupboard or a corner of the rear bedroom — adding an extra room of usability rather than just a fitting.
