Do I need a pumped waste for a loft shower in Fenton?

Usually yes — most Fenton 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 Fenton 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 Fenton loft jobs.

How long does a loft shower room take?

8–12 working days on a Fenton 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 Fenton we send a fully itemised, fixed-price quotation — no surprises on invoice day.

What's the smallest bedroom an ensuite will work in around Fenton?

We can fit a workable ensuite into around 1.8m x 1.2m — enough for a corner WC, basin and 800mm shower. Most Fenton master bedrooms over 12m² can lose that without feeling pinched.

A loft shower room is a different beast to a loft ensuite. In a Fenton 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 Fenton isn't a one-template job — every house we walk into reveals something different.

Loft shower room mistakes we see in {town}

Tray positioned where the ceiling drops below 1.9m at head height — flagged regularly on Fenton jobs.

Waste teed straight into the stack with no fall — chronic slow drain — flagged regularly on Fenton jobs.

No mechanical extract routed through the roofline, so condensation soaks the plasterboard — flagged regularly on Fenton jobs.

Fenton: sloping floors making the shower tray sit out of level.

Around Fenton this shows up as boiler too far from the new ensuite for instant hot water.
