In Ellesmere Port, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For an en-suite in Ellesmere Port, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack. If the en-suite in your Ellesmere Port 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 Cheshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Ellesmere Port. 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
- Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
- A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
- 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.
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.
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.
