Working in Haywards Heath

As well as Haywards Heath itself (RH16), we survey in Burgess Hill, Crawley and Uckfield.

In Haywards Heath, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For an en-suite in Haywards Heath, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack. If your Haywards Heath en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit.

Water across much of West Sussex is hard. If your supply in Haywards Heath 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 pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear

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.

Is the water hard in Haywards Heath?

Who handles building control for an en-suite in Haywards Heath?

Building control for Haywards Heath is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Is a macerator toilet OK in an en-suite?

A macerator is a legitimate option where gravity drainage cannot reach the soil stack, as long as there is another WC in the house on gravity drainage. It needs an electrical supply, makes some noise while it runs and should only take toilet waste and paper. Models that also take the shower and basin waste are available.
