Working in Hereford

As well as Hereford itself (HR1 and HR4), we survey in Ross on Wye, Leominster and Ledbury.

In a city the size of Hereford, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If the en-suite in your Hereford home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size. If your Hereford home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue.

Most of Herefordshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Hereford. 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
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

En-suites in Hereford: questions

How much should I budget for an en-suite in Hereford?

An en-suite in Hereford usually costs £4,400–£8,800 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover HR1 and HR4 in Hereford?

Yes. We cover all of Hereford, including HR1 and HR4, and nearby Ross on Wye, Leominster and Ledbury. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Hereford?

Who handles building control for an en-suite in Hereford?

Building control for Hereford 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 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.
