Working in Macclesfield

We cover every part of Macclesfield, including SK9, SK10 and SK11, and nearby Wilmslow (6.4 miles) and Bramhall (7 miles).

Homes in and around Macclesfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Macclesfield home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue. If your Macclesfield en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit.

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 Macclesfield. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door
IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

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.

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.

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.

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.
