Working in Southport

We work right across Southport — L20, L21, L22 and 5 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Formby and Lytham St Annes.

Across a large town like Southport, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. We quote new en-suites in Southport only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs. If your Southport home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue.

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

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
IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Southport?

What extractor fan does an en-suite need?

In England, a new en-suite needs extract ventilation of at least 15 litres per second if the fan runs intermittently, or 8 litres per second if it runs continuously. Duct it to outside, keep the duct run short, and choose a quiet fan with an overrun timer, because it sits next to a bedroom.
