Working in Moreton

We work right across Moreton — CH46, CH47 and CH49 — and in neighbouring Wallasey and Birkenhead.

Moreton gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the en-suite in your Moreton home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size. If your Moreton 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 Moreton, 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 pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear

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.

More about en-suites

En-suites in Moreton: questions

What is the price of an en-suite in Moreton?

An en-suite in Moreton usually costs £4,200–£8,500 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

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

Building control for Moreton 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 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 Moreton.

Is the home survey in Moreton 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.

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.
