Working in Ely

We work right across Ely — CB6 and CB7 — and in neighbouring Newmarket and March.

Ely gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We quote new en-suites in Ely only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs. For an en-suite in Ely, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack.

Most of Cambridgeshire has very hard water. If your supply in Ely 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

IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite

Decisions to make first

Noise

Acoustic insulation in the stud walls and a quiet fan make a real difference when one of you showers early while the other is still asleep.

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.

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 Ely: questions

How much does an en-suite cost in Ely?

An en-suite in Ely usually costs £4,800–£9,500 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

How long does an en-suite take?

Allow 4–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Ely.

Is the home survey in Ely 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 CB6 and CB7 in Ely?

Yes. We cover all of Ely, including CB6 and CB7, and nearby Newmarket, March and St Ives. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

How much space do you need for an en-suite?

As a rough guide, about 2.5 m² is the practical minimum for a shower, basin and WC, for example a space of around 1.2 m by 2.1 m. The exact layout depends on where the door, window and soil stack are, so we test it against your measurements rather than a rule of thumb.
