Working in Bicester
We cover every part of Bicester, including OX6 and OX26, and nearby Oxford (11.1 miles) and Cowley (11.8 miles).
Homes in and around Bicester vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the en-suite in your Bicester 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 Bicester, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack.
Water across much of Oxfordshire is hard. If your supply in Bicester 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
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
- A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
- A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
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.
