Working in Wakefield
We work right across Wakefield — WF1, WF2, WF4 and 4 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Lofthouse and Ossett.
Wakefield is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If the en-suite in your Wakefield 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 Wakefield flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents.
Most of West Yorkshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Wakefield, 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
- 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 survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
- IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
Night lighting
A mirror light or low-level LED strip on its own switch lets you use the en-suite at night without the full glare of the ceiling lights.
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.
