Working in Cheltenham

We cover every part of Cheltenham, including GL50, GL51 and GL53, and nearby Tewkesbury (7.2 miles) and Gloucester (7.4 miles).

Across a large town like Cheltenham, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. For an en-suite in Cheltenham, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack. If your Cheltenham en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit.

Most of Gloucestershire has hard water. If your supply in Cheltenham 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 short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
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
A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage

Decisions to make first

Noise

Acoustic insulation in the stud walls and a quiet fan make a real difference when one of you showers early while the other is still asleep.

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.

En-suites in Cheltenham: questions

How much does an en-suite cost in Cheltenham?

An en-suite in Cheltenham usually costs £4,600–£9,200 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

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 Cheltenham.

Is the home survey in Cheltenham 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 GL50 in Cheltenham?

Yes. We cover all of Cheltenham, including GL50, GL51 and GL53, and nearby Tewkesbury, Gloucester and Stroud. 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.
