Working in Bebington
We work right across Bebington — CH42, CH62 and CH63 — and in neighbouring Birkenhead and Heswall.
In Bebington, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For an en-suite in Bebington, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack. If you live in a Bebington flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents.
Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Bebington, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
- A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
- IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
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.
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.
