Working in Poole

We cover every part of Poole, including BH12, BH13, BH14 and 3 more postcode districts, and nearby Bournemouth (4.6 miles) and Ferndown (7.4 miles).

Across a large town like Poole, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. We quote new en-suites in Poole only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs. If you live in a Poole flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents.

Water across much of Dorset is hard. If your supply in Poole is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door

Decisions to make first

Exposed or concealed valve

An exposed bar valve is quicker to fit and easy to service. A concealed valve looks cleaner but sits inside the wall, so plan how it will be reached for repairs.

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.

More about en-suites

En-suites in Poole: questions

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

An en-suite in Poole usually costs £4,600–£9,200 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

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 Poole.

Is the home survey in Poole 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 BH12 in Poole?

Yes. We cover all of Poole, including BH12, BH13, BH14, BH15 and 2 more postcode districts, and nearby Bournemouth, Ferndown and Christchurch. 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.
