Working in Prescot
We work right across Prescot — L34, L35 and L36 — and in neighbouring Huyton and St Helens.
In Prescot, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Prescot home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue. For an en-suite in Prescot, 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 Prescot, 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 survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
- IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- 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
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.
