Working in Great Yarmouth

We cover every part of Great Yarmouth, including NR29, NR30 and NR31, and nearby Norwich (18.2 miles) and East Dereham (33.8 miles).

Homes in and around Great Yarmouth vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you live in a Great Yarmouth flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents. If your Great Yarmouth en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit.

Water across much of Norfolk is very hard. If your supply in Great Yarmouth is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage

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.

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 Great Yarmouth: questions

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

An en-suite in Great Yarmouth usually costs £4,800–£9,500 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

How long does an en-suite take?

Is the home survey in Great Yarmouth 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.

Do you cover NR29 in Great Yarmouth?

Yes. We cover all of Great Yarmouth, including NR29, NR30 and NR31, and nearby Norwich, East Dereham and Thetford. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
