Working in Eccles
As well as Eccles itself (M6, M17 and M30), we survey in Swinton, Salford and Stretford.
Homes in and around Eccles vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We quote new en-suites in Eccles only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs. If the en-suite in your Eccles home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Eccles, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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 short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
- Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
- 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.
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.
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.
