Working in Barnstaple
In Barnstaple we cover EX31 and EX32; we also cover Bideford, 7.9 miles away, and Tiverton.
Homes in and around Barnstaple vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the en-suite in your Barnstaple home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size. If your Barnstaple en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit.
Water across much of Devon is soft. If that holds for your street in Barnstaple, 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
- Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
- A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
