Working in Stevenage

We cover every part of Stevenage, including SG1 and SG2, and nearby Hitchin (4.8 miles) and Letchworth Garden City (5.4 miles).

Stevenage has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Stevenage en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit. If you live in a Stevenage flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents.

Supplies across most of Hertfordshire are very hard. If your supply in Stevenage 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 survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls

Decisions to make first

Refit or new en-suite

A refit keeps the existing drainage and walls. A new en-suite costs more because the walls, waste route, fan duct and electrics all start from nothing.

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 Stevenage: questions

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

An en-suite in Stevenage usually costs £4,800–£9,500 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the water hard in Stevenage?

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

Building control for Stevenage 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 long does an en-suite take?

Allow 4–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Stevenage.

Do I need building regulations approval for an en-suite?

A new en-suite usually does, because it involves new drainage, an extractor fan and new electrical circuits. A like-for-like refit of an existing en-suite normally does not, apart from any electrical work that is notifiable where you live. We tell you which parts apply at the survey.
