Working in Oadby

As well as Oadby itself (LE2), we survey in Wigston Magna, Leicester and Mountsorrel.

Oadby gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you live in a Oadby flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents. If your Oadby home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue.

Most of Leicestershire has hard water. If your supply in Oadby 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
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
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite

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.

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.

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 Oadby: questions

How much does an en-suite cost in Oadby?

An en-suite in Oadby usually costs £4,300–£8,600 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

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 Oadby.

Is the home survey in Oadby 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 LE2 in Oadby?

Yes. We cover all of Oadby, including LE2, and nearby Wigston Magna, Leicester and Mountsorrel. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

How much space do you need for an en-suite?

As a rough guide, about 2.5 m² is the practical minimum for a shower, basin and WC, for example a space of around 1.2 m by 2.1 m. The exact layout depends on where the door, window and soil stack are, so we test it against your measurements rather than a rule of thumb.
