Working in Esher
We cover every part of Esher, including KT7 and KT10, and nearby East Molesey (2.1 miles) and West Molesey (2.2 miles).
In Esher, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you live in a Esher flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents. If the en-suite in your Esher home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size.
Water across much of Surrey is hard. If your supply in Esher 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 short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
- Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
- IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
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.
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.
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.
