Working in Plymstock

We work right across Plymstock — PL9 — and in neighbouring Plymouth and Saltash.

Plymstock gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the en-suite in your Plymstock home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size. If your Plymstock 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 Plymstock, 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

A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door

Decisions to make first

Shower size

A 900 mm square tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. In a long, narrow room, a 1200 by 800 mm walk-in tray with one glass panel feels far more generous.

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.

More about en-suites

En-suites in Plymstock: questions

What is the price of an en-suite in Plymstock?

An en-suite in Plymstock usually costs £4,600–£9,200 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the home survey in Plymstock 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 PL9 in Plymstock?

Yes. We cover all of Plymstock, including PL9, and nearby Plymouth, Saltash and Paignton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Plymstock?

Do I need building regulations approval for an en-suite?

A new en-suite usually does, because it involves new drainage, an extractor fan and new electrical circuits. A like-for-like refit of an existing en-suite normally does not, apart from any electrical work that is notifiable where you live. We tell you which parts apply at the survey.
