Working in Crowthorne

We cover every part of Crowthorne, including GU47, RG40 and RG45, and nearby Sandhurst (1.6 miles) and Yateley (2.5 miles).

In Crowthorne, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you live in a Crowthorne flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents. If your Crowthorne home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue.

Most of Berkshire has hard water. If your supply in Crowthorne is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls

Decisions to make first

Exposed or concealed valve

An exposed bar valve is quicker to fit and easy to service. A concealed valve looks cleaner but sits inside the wall, so plan how it will be reached for repairs.

Night lighting

A mirror light or low-level LED strip on its own switch lets you use the en-suite at night without the full glare of the ceiling lights.

Rules that apply in England

In England, a new en-suite brings in Part H for the new connection to the soil stack, Approved Document F for ventilation, at 15 litres per second intermittent or 8 litres per second continuous extract, and Part P for the new circuits. The electrician should be registered with a competent person scheme, or the work notified to building control. On a refit, avoid replacing the fan with a less effective one.

En-suites in Crowthorne: questions

What is the price of an en-suite in Crowthorne?

An en-suite in Crowthorne usually costs £5,000–£10,000 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the home survey in Crowthorne really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover GU47 in Crowthorne?

Yes. We cover all of Crowthorne, including GU47, RG40 and RG45, and nearby Sandhurst, Yateley and Camberley. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Crowthorne?

Do I need building regulations approval for an en-suite?

A new en-suite usually does, because it involves new drainage, an extractor fan and new electrical circuits. A like-for-like refit of an existing en-suite normally does not, apart from any electrical work that is notifiable where you live. We tell you which parts apply at the survey.
