Working in Alton

We work right across Alton — GU34 — and in neighbouring Bordon and Farnham.

Alton gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Alton 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 Alton 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 Hampshire is hard. If your supply in Alton 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
IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need

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.

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.

How much space do you need for an en-suite?

As a rough guide, about 2.5 m² is the practical minimum for a shower, basin and WC, for example a space of around 1.2 m by 2.1 m. The exact layout depends on where the door, window and soil stack are, so we test it against your measurements rather than a rule of thumb.
