Working in Scarborough
In Scarborough we cover YO11 and YO12; we also cover Guisborough, 31.6 miles away, and Redcar.
In Scarborough, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Scarborough en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit. For an en-suite in Scarborough, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack.
Most of North Yorkshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Scarborough. 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
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.
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.
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.
