Working in Shipley

We work right across Shipley — BD10, BD17 and BD18 — and in neighbouring Baildon and Bradford.

Homes in and around Shipley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Shipley home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue. We quote new en-suites in Shipley only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs.

Supplies across most of West Yorkshire are soft. If that holds for your street in Shipley, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

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
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 Shipley: questions

Do you cover BD10 in Shipley?

Is the water hard in Shipley?

Can you put an en-suite anywhere?

Almost anywhere the waste can reach the soil stack. Gravity drainage needs a steady fall in the pipe, so the further the en-suite is from the stack, the more depth you need under the floor or behind boxing. Where that is not possible, a pumped waste or macerator can be used if the home already has a WC on gravity drainage. Our guide to adding an en-suite covers this in more detail.
