Working in Beckenham
As well as Beckenham itself (BR3, SE20 and SE26), we survey in Catford, Croydon and Blackheath.
London homes in Beckenham often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. We quote new en-suites in Beckenham only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs. If your Beckenham 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 Greater London is very hard. If your supply in Beckenham 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 pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
- A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
- 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.
