Working in York

We cover every part of York, including YO1, YO10, YO24 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Selby (12.1 miles) and Kippax (17.7 miles).

York is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. For an en-suite in York, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack. If your York en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit.

Water across much of North Yorkshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in York. 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
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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

Building control for York 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.
