Working in Ramsgate
As well as Ramsgate itself (CT10, CT11 and CT12), we survey in Broadstairs, Margate and Deal.
Homes in and around Ramsgate vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Ramsgate home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue. If you live in a Ramsgate flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents.
Most of Kent has very hard water. If your supply in Ramsgate 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 pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
- A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
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.
Door type
An outward-opening door frees floor space inside. A sliding pocket door saves space on both sides but needs a stud wall long enough to take the cassette.
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.
