Working in Great Sankey

We work right across Great Sankey — WA5 — and in neighbouring Warrington and Newton-le-Willows.

In Great Sankey, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you live in a Great Sankey 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 Great Sankey only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs.

Supplies across most of Cheshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Great Sankey. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear

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.

Is the water hard in Great Sankey?

Do I need building regulations approval for an en-suite?

A new en-suite usually does, because it involves new drainage, an extractor fan and new electrical circuits. A like-for-like refit of an existing en-suite normally does not, apart from any electrical work that is notifiable where you live. We tell you which parts apply at the survey.
