Working in Chesham

We work right across Chesham — HP5 — and in neighbouring Amersham on the Hill and Amersham.

Chesham gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We quote new en-suites in Chesham only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs. If the en-suite in your Chesham home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size.

Water across much of Buckinghamshire is hard. If your supply in Chesham 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

A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite

Decisions to make first

Door type

An outward-opening door frees floor space inside. A sliding pocket door saves space on both sides but needs a stud wall long enough to take the cassette.

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.

En-suites in Chesham: questions

How much does an en-suite cost in Chesham?

Is the water hard in Chesham?

Who handles building control for an en-suite in Chesham?

Building control for Chesham is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Is a macerator toilet OK in an en-suite?

A macerator is a legitimate option where gravity drainage cannot reach the soil stack, as long as there is another WC in the house on gravity drainage. It needs an electrical supply, makes some noise while it runs and should only take toilet waste and paper. Models that also take the shower and basin waste are available.
