Working in Norwich

We work right across Norwich — NR1, NR2, NR3 and 4 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring East Dereham and Great Yarmouth.

In a city the size of Norwich, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you live in a Norwich flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents. If your Norwich 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 Norwich 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 survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
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

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.

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.

How much does an en-suite cost in Norwich?

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

Building control for Norwich 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.
