Working in Cirencester

We cover every part of Cirencester, including GL7, and nearby Stroud (10 miles) and Cheltenham (13.3 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Cirencester: free survey, written quote, one team. If you live in a Cirencester flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents. If your Cirencester home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue.

Water across much of Gloucestershire is hard. If your supply in Cirencester 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

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
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 Cirencester: questions

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

An en-suite in Cirencester 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.

Is the water hard in Cirencester?

Who handles building control for an en-suite in Cirencester?

Building control for Cirencester is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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 Cirencester.

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.
