Working in Yarm

As well as Yarm itself (TS15, TS16 and TS17), we survey in Thornaby-on-Tees, Stockton-on-Tees and Billingham.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Yarm: free survey, written quote, one team. For an en-suite in Yarm, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack. If the en-suite in your Yarm 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 County Durham is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Yarm. 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
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
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.

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.

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 Yarm: questions

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

An en-suite in Yarm usually costs £4,000–£8,100 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the home survey in Yarm really free?

Is the water hard in Yarm?

Can you put an en-suite anywhere?

Almost anywhere the waste can reach the soil stack. Gravity drainage needs a steady fall in the pipe, so the further the en-suite is from the stack, the more depth you need under the floor or behind boxing. Where that is not possible, a pumped waste or macerator can be used if the home already has a WC on gravity drainage. Our guide to adding an en-suite covers this in more detail.
