Working in Royston

In Royston we cover SG8; we also cover Letchworth Garden City, 9.8 miles away, and Biggleswade.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Royston: free survey, written quote, one team. If the en-suite in your Royston 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 Royston, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack.

Supplies across most of Cambridgeshire are very hard. If your supply in Royston 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
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Royston: questions

How much does an en-suite cost in Royston?

An en-suite in Royston usually costs £4,800–£9,500 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.

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

Building control for Royston 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 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 Royston.

Is the home survey in Royston 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.

What extractor fan does an en-suite need?

In England, a new en-suite needs extract ventilation of at least 15 litres per second if the fan runs intermittently, or 8 litres per second if it runs continuously. Duct it to outside, keep the duct run short, and choose a quiet fan with an overrun timer, because it sits next to a bedroom.
