Working in Peterborough

We work right across Peterborough — PE1, PE2, PE3 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Stamford and March.

Peterborough is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If you live in a Peterborough flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents. We quote new en-suites in Peterborough only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs.

Supplies across most of Cambridgeshire are very hard. If your supply in Peterborough 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
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Peterborough: questions

How much does an en-suite cost in Peterborough?

An en-suite in Peterborough usually costs £4,800–£9,500 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

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

Building control for Peterborough 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.

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.
