Working in Newcastle under Lyme

In Newcastle under Lyme we cover ST5; we also cover Stoke-on-Trent, 2 miles away, and Longton.

Across a large town like Newcastle under Lyme, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If the en-suite in your Newcastle under Lyme home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size. We quote new en-suites in Newcastle under Lyme only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs.

Water across much of Staffordshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Newcastle under Lyme. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
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

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.

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.

En-suites in Newcastle under Lyme: questions

How much does an en-suite cost in Newcastle under Lyme?

An en-suite in Newcastle under Lyme usually costs £4,400–£8,800 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.

Is the home survey in Newcastle under Lyme 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 ST5 in Newcastle under Lyme?

Yes. We cover all of Newcastle under Lyme, including ST5, and nearby Stoke-on-Trent, Longton and Kidsgrove. 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.
