Working in Whitehaven
We work right across Whitehaven — CA28 — and in neighbouring Workington and Barrow in Furness.
Whitehaven gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the en-suite in your Whitehaven home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size. We quote new en-suites in Whitehaven only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs.
Water across much of Cumbria is soft. If that holds for your street in Whitehaven, 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
- IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
- A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
- 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.
Exposed or concealed valve
An exposed bar valve is quicker to fit and easy to service. A concealed valve looks cleaner but sits inside the wall, so plan how it will be reached for repairs.
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.
