Working in Aylesbury
As well as Aylesbury itself (HP19, HP20 and HP21), we survey in Leighton Buzzard, Berkhamsted and Chesham.
Homes in and around Aylesbury vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For an en-suite in Aylesbury, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack. If your Aylesbury en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit.
Most of Buckinghamshire has hard water. If your supply in Aylesbury 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
- A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
- A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door
- A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
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.
Shower size
A 900 mm square tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. In a long, narrow room, a 1200 by 800 mm walk-in tray with one glass panel feels far more generous.
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.
