Working in Mountsorrel

We work right across Mountsorrel — LE4 — and in neighbouring Loughborough and Leicester.

Mountsorrel gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For an en-suite in Mountsorrel, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack. If your Mountsorrel home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue.

Water across much of Leicestershire is hard. If your supply in Mountsorrel 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

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
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

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

More about en-suites

En-suites in Mountsorrel: questions

What is the price of an en-suite in Mountsorrel?

An en-suite in Mountsorrel usually costs £4,300–£8,600 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the home survey in Mountsorrel 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 LE4 in Mountsorrel?

Yes. We cover all of Mountsorrel, including LE4, and nearby Loughborough, Leicester and Oadby. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Mountsorrel?

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.
