Working in Wimborne Minster

In Wimborne Minster we cover BH17, BH18 and BH21; we also cover Ferndown, 4 miles away, and Poole.

Wimborne Minster gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Wimborne Minster en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit. If the en-suite in your Wimborne Minster home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size.

Most of Dorset has hard water. If your supply in Wimborne Minster 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
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
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

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Wimborne Minster really free?

Do you cover BH17 in Wimborne Minster?

Yes. We cover all of Wimborne Minster, including BH17, BH18 and BH21, and nearby Ferndown, Poole and Bournemouth. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

How much space do you need for an en-suite?

As a rough guide, about 2.5 m² is the practical minimum for a shower, basin and WC, for example a space of around 1.2 m by 2.1 m. The exact layout depends on where the door, window and soil stack are, so we test it against your measurements rather than a rule of thumb.
