Working in Rickmansworth

We work right across Rickmansworth — HA6, WD3 and WD18 — and in neighbouring Watford and Chalfont St Peter.

Homes in and around Rickmansworth vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For an en-suite in Rickmansworth, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack. If your Rickmansworth en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit.

Most of Hertfordshire has very hard water. If your supply in Rickmansworth 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 shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
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
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.

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.

En-suites in Rickmansworth: questions

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

An en-suite in Rickmansworth usually costs £4,800–£9,500 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

How long does an en-suite take?

Is the home survey in Rickmansworth 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.

Do you cover HA6 in Rickmansworth?

Yes. We cover all of Rickmansworth, including HA6, WD3 and WD18, and nearby Watford, Chalfont St Peter and North Watford. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Does an en-suite add value to a house?

An en-suite usually makes a house more appealing to buyers, especially where there is only one other bathroom, but we cannot tell you how much it will add to your price; a local estate agent is the right person to ask. What it does reliably is end the queue for the main bathroom.
