Working in Exeter

We work right across Exeter — EX1, EX2, EX3 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Exmouth and Tiverton.

In a city the size of Exeter, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. We quote new en-suites in Exeter only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs. For an en-suite in Exeter, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack.

Supplies across most of Devon are soft. If that holds for your street in Exeter, 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

Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door

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.

More about en-suites

En-suites in Exeter: questions

How much should I budget for an en-suite in Exeter?

An en-suite in Exeter usually costs £4,600–£9,200 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

How long does an en-suite take?

Allow 4–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Exeter.

Is the home survey in Exeter really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover EX1 in Exeter?

Yes. We cover all of Exeter, including EX1, EX2, EX3 and EX4, and nearby Exmouth, Tiverton and Newton Abbot. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
