What does an en-suite cost in Battersea?

For Battersea, our guide range for an en-suite is £5,600 to £11,250 including VAT. Prices in London run at about 25% above the national guide, mainly because of labour rates. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Battersea

As well as Battersea itself (SW3, SW8 and SW11), we survey in Chelsea, Fulham and Brixton.

London homes in Battersea often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If you live in a Battersea flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents. We quote new en-suites in Battersea only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs.

Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Battersea 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
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

En-suites in Battersea: questions

How much does an en-suite cost in Battersea?

An en-suite in Battersea usually costs £5,600–£11,250 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 Battersea.

Is the home survey in Battersea 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 SW3 in Battersea?

Yes. We cover all of Battersea, including SW3, SW8 and SW11, and nearby Chelsea, Fulham and Brixton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What extractor fan does an en-suite need?

In England, a new en-suite needs extract ventilation of at least 15 litres per second if the fan runs intermittently, or 8 litres per second if it runs continuously. Duct it to outside, keep the duct run short, and choose a quiet fan with an overrun timer, because it sits next to a bedroom.
