Working in Golborne

In Golborne we cover WA3, WA12 and WN4; we also cover Newton-le-Willows, 1.9 miles away, and Ashton in Makerfield.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Golborne: free survey, written quote, one team. If the en-suite in your Golborne home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size. If you live in a Golborne flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents.

Supplies across most of Merseyside are soft. If that holds for your street in Golborne, 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

A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door
A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite

Decisions to make first

Shower size

A 900 mm square tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. In a long, narrow room, a 1200 by 800 mm walk-in tray with one glass panel feels far more generous.

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 Golborne: questions

Do you cover WA3 in Golborne?

Yes. We cover all of Golborne, including WA3, WA12 and WN4, and nearby Newton-le-Willows, Ashton in Makerfield and Leigh. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Golborne?

Can you put an en-suite anywhere?

Almost anywhere the waste can reach the soil stack. Gravity drainage needs a steady fall in the pipe, so the further the en-suite is from the stack, the more depth you need under the floor or behind boxing. Where that is not possible, a pumped waste or macerator can be used if the home already has a WC on gravity drainage. Our guide to adding an en-suite covers this in more detail.
