Working in Ashford
As well as Ashford itself (TN23 and TN24), we survey in Faversham, Canterbury and Folkestone.
In Ashford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We quote new en-suites in Ashford only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs. If your Ashford home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue.
Supplies across most of Kent are very hard. If your supply in Ashford 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
- Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
- IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
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.
