Working in High Wycombe

As well as High Wycombe itself (HP11, HP12 and HP13), we survey in Marlow, Amersham and Amersham on the Hill.

Across a large town like High Wycombe, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If the en-suite in your High Wycombe home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size. For an en-suite in High Wycombe, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack.

Supplies across most of Buckinghamshire are hard. If your supply in High Wycombe 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 pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

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.

Refit or new en-suite

A refit keeps the existing drainage and walls. A new en-suite costs more because the walls, waste route, fan duct and electrics all start from nothing.

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 High Wycombe: questions

How much should I budget for an en-suite in High Wycombe?

An en-suite in High Wycombe 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.

How long does an en-suite take?

Is the home survey in High Wycombe 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 HP11 in High Wycombe?

Yes. We cover all of High Wycombe, including HP11, HP12 and HP13, and nearby Marlow, Amersham and Amersham on the Hill. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you put an en-suite anywhere?

Almost anywhere the waste can reach the soil stack. Gravity drainage needs a steady fall in the pipe, so the further the en-suite is from the stack, the more depth you need under the floor or behind boxing. Where that is not possible, a pumped waste or macerator can be used if the home already has a WC on gravity drainage. Our guide to adding an en-suite covers this in more detail.
