What does an en-suite cost in Farnham?

In Farnham, an en-suite typically costs £5,000–£10,000 including VAT, based on South East England prices. Prices in South East England run at about 12% above the national guide, mainly because of labour rates. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Farnham

We cover every part of Farnham, including GU9 and GU10, and nearby Aldershot (2.8 miles) and Fleet (5 miles).

Homes in and around Farnham vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Farnham 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 Farnham 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 Surrey is hard. If your supply in Farnham 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
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
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

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.

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.

En-suites in Farnham: questions

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

An en-suite in Farnham usually costs £5,000–£10,000 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the home survey in Farnham 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 GU9 and GU10 in Farnham?

Yes. We cover all of Farnham, including GU9 and GU10, and nearby Aldershot, Fleet and Farnborough. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Farnham?

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.
