Working in Exmouth

In Exmouth we cover EX8; we also cover Exeter, 9.2 miles away, and Newton Abbot.

Homes in and around Exmouth vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you live in a Exmouth flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents. For an en-suite in Exmouth, 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 Exmouth, 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
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
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve

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.

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.

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.

How much does an en-suite cost in Exmouth?

Is the water hard in Exmouth?

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

Building control for Exmouth 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.

Is a macerator toilet OK in an en-suite?

A macerator is a legitimate option where gravity drainage cannot reach the soil stack, as long as there is another WC in the house on gravity drainage. It needs an electrical supply, makes some noise while it runs and should only take toilet waste and paper. Models that also take the shower and basin waste are available.
