Working in Penzance

We work right across Penzance — TR18 — and in neighbouring Camborne and Redruth.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Penzance: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Penzance home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue. If you live in a Penzance flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents.

Water across much of Cornwall is soft. If that holds for your street in Penzance, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
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
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat

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.

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.

More about en-suites

En-suites in Penzance: questions

What is the price of an en-suite in Penzance?

An en-suite in Penzance usually costs £4,600–£9,200 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.

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 Penzance.

Is the home survey in Penzance 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.

Do you cover TR18 in Penzance?

Yes. We cover all of Penzance, including TR18, and nearby Camborne, Redruth and Falmouth. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
