Working in Chichester
We work right across Chichester — PO19 — and in neighbouring Bognor Regis and Emsworth.
In Chichester, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If the en-suite in your Chichester home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size. If you live in a Chichester flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents.
Supplies across most of West Sussex are hard. If your supply in Chichester 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
- Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
- Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
- A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
- A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
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.
