Loft Shower Room Conversion in Trentham
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 Trentham 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.
When Trentham homeowners ask us about ensuite installation, the first thing we look at is the room itself.
Loft Shower Room Conversion FAQs — Trentham
- Do I need a pumped waste for a loft shower in Trentham?
- Usually yes — most Trentham 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 Trentham 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 Trentham loft jobs.
- How long does a loft shower room take?
- 8–12 working days on a Trentham conversion where the loft shell is already boarded and lit.
- Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Trentham home liveable while the work runs.
- Do I need a macerator?
- Only if you can't reach a soil stack on a reasonable fall. In many Trentham 1930s semis we can hit the main stack directly; in newer estates we often macerate to keep the install neat.
