Working in Corby

As well as Corby itself (NN17 and NN18), we survey in Kettering, Market Harborough and Oakham.

Homes in and around Corby vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you live in a Corby flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents. If the en-suite in your Corby home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size.

Supplies across most of Northamptonshire are hard. If your supply in Corby 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
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
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat

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.

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.

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 Corby: questions

How much does an en-suite cost in Corby?

An en-suite in Corby usually costs £4,300–£8,600 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 Corby 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 NN17 and NN18 in Corby?

Yes. We cover all of Corby, including NN17 and NN18, and nearby Kettering, Market Harborough and Oakham. 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.
