Working in Liverpool

In Liverpool we cover L1, L2, L3 and 15 more postcode districts; we also cover Birkenhead, 1.9 miles away, and Wallasey.

In a city the size of Liverpool, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. We quote new en-suites in Liverpool only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs. For an en-suite in Liverpool, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack.

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

Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need

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.

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.

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 Liverpool: questions

How much should I budget for an en-suite in Liverpool?

An en-suite in Liverpool usually costs £4,200–£8,500 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.

Do you cover L1 in Liverpool?

Yes. We cover all of Liverpool, including L1, L2, L3, L4 and 14 more postcode districts, and nearby Birkenhead, Wallasey and Litherland. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Liverpool?

Who handles building control for an en-suite in Liverpool?

Building control for Liverpool is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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.
