Working in Haverhill

We cover every part of Haverhill, including CB9, and nearby Saffron Walden (9.3 miles) and Newmarket (11.3 miles).

In Haverhill, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Haverhill en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit. If you live in a Haverhill flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents.

Water across much of Suffolk is very hard. If your supply in Haverhill 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

IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

What extractor fan does an en-suite need?

In England, a new en-suite needs extract ventilation of at least 15 litres per second if the fan runs intermittently, or 8 litres per second if it runs continuously. Duct it to outside, keep the duct run short, and choose a quiet fan with an overrun timer, because it sits next to a bedroom.
