Working in Cheshunt

We cover every part of Cheshunt, including EN7, EN8 and EN9, and nearby Waltham Abbey (1.4 miles) and Enfield (4.1 miles).

Homes in and around Cheshunt vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the en-suite in your Cheshunt home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size. If you live in a Cheshunt flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents.

Most of Hertfordshire has very hard water. If your supply in Cheshunt 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
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite

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.

Is the water hard in Cheshunt?

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

Building control for Cheshunt 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.

Is a macerator toilet OK in an en-suite?

A macerator is a legitimate option where gravity drainage cannot reach the soil stack, as long as there is another WC in the house on gravity drainage. It needs an electrical supply, makes some noise while it runs and should only take toilet waste and paper. Models that also take the shower and basin waste are available.
