Working in Torquay
As well as Torquay itself (TQ1, TQ2, TQ3 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Paignton, Brixham and Newton Abbot.
In Torquay, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If the en-suite in your Torquay home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size. For an en-suite in Torquay, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack.
Water across much of Devon is soft. If that holds for your street in Torquay, 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
- 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
- A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
- IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
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.
Night lighting
A mirror light or low-level LED strip on its own switch lets you use the en-suite at night without the full glare of the ceiling lights.
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.
