Working in Bootle
We work right across Bootle — L20, L21 and L22 — and in neighbouring Litherland and Wallasey.
In Bootle, 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 Bootle only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs. If your Bootle home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue.
Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Bootle, 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
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
