Working in South Croydon

In South Croydon we cover CR0, CR2 and CR9; we also cover Croydon, 1.5 miles away, and Purley.

In South Croydon, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your South Croydon home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue. If you live in a South Croydon flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents.

Water across much of Greater London is very hard. If your supply in South Croydon 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 survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
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

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.

More about en-suites

En-suites in South Croydon: questions

What is the price of an en-suite in South Croydon?

An en-suite in South Croydon usually costs £5,600–£11,250 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Who handles building control for an en-suite in South Croydon?

Building control for South Croydon 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 South Croydon.

Is the home survey in South Croydon 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.

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.
