Working in Glossop

As well as Glossop itself (SK13), we survey in Stalybridge, Hyde and New Mills.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Glossop: free survey, written quote, one team. If you live in a Glossop flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents. We quote new en-suites in Glossop only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs.

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

What the job includes

An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite

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 Glossop: questions

Do you cover SK13 in Glossop?

Is the water hard in Glossop?

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.
