Working in Stanford-le-Hope

As well as Stanford-le-Hope itself (SS16 and SS17), we survey in Basildon, Pitsea and Grays.

Homes in and around Stanford-le-Hope vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For an en-suite in Stanford-le-Hope, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack. We quote new en-suites in Stanford-le-Hope only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs.

Most of Essex has very hard water. If your supply in Stanford-le-Hope 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

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
IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 water hard in Stanford-le-Hope?

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.
