Working in Nottingham

We work right across Nottingham — NG1, NG3, NG5 and 3 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring West Bridgford and Hucknall.

In a city the size of Nottingham, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If the en-suite in your Nottingham home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size. For an en-suite in Nottingham, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack.

Most of Nottinghamshire has hard water. If your supply in Nottingham 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

An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear

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.

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.

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 Nottingham?

Building control for Nottingham 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.
