Working in Burntwood

We cover every part of Burntwood, including WS7, and nearby Great Wyrley (3.7 miles) and Lichfield (4.3 miles).

Homes in and around Burntwood vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We quote new en-suites in Burntwood only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs. If your Burntwood home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue.

Most of Staffordshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Burntwood. 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 survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve

Decisions to make first

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.

Shower size

A 900 mm square tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. In a long, narrow room, a 1200 by 800 mm walk-in tray with one glass panel feels far more generous.

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.

More about en-suites

En-suites in Burntwood: questions

What is the price of an en-suite in Burntwood?

An en-suite in Burntwood usually costs £4,400–£8,800 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Burntwood 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 WS7 in Burntwood?

Yes. We cover all of Burntwood, including WS7, and nearby Great Wyrley, Lichfield and Cannock. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Burntwood?

Do I need building regulations approval for an en-suite?

A new en-suite usually does, because it involves new drainage, an extractor fan and new electrical circuits. A like-for-like refit of an existing en-suite normally does not, apart from any electrical work that is notifiable where you live. We tell you which parts apply at the survey.
