Working in Derby

We cover every part of Derby, including DE1, DE21, DE22 and 2 more postcode districts, and nearby Belper (6.9 miles) and Ilkeston (7.7 miles).

Derby is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If you live in a Derby flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents. If the en-suite in your Derby home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size.

Most of Derbyshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Derby. 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 door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door
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

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.

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.

En-suites in Derby: questions

How much does an en-suite cost in Derby?

An en-suite in Derby usually costs £4,300–£8,600 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.

Do you cover DE1 in Derby?

Yes. We cover all of Derby, including DE1, DE21, DE22, DE23 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Belper, Ilkeston and Heanor. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Derby?

Who handles building control for an en-suite in Derby?

Building control for Derby is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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.
