Working in Coulsdon
We work right across Coulsdon — CR5, CR8 and SM7 — and in neighbouring Purley and Banstead.
In Coulsdon, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If the en-suite in your Coulsdon home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size. If your Coulsdon home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue.
Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Coulsdon 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
- Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
- A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door
- A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
Decisions to make first
Shower size
A 900 mm square tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. In a long, narrow room, a 1200 by 800 mm walk-in tray with one glass panel feels far more generous.
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.
