En-suite bathrooms in Bromsgrove

Planning your en-suite in Bromsgrove

This kind of work rarely needs planning permission, but it does have to comply with Building Regulations, and some parts must be certified by a registered installer or signed off by building control. In Bromsgrove, building control is provided by Bromsgrove District Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Siting the en-suite close to the existing soil stack is usually the simplest and most reliable layout.
Insulating the new stud wall helps reduce noise between the en-suite and the bedroom.
Roughly 1.5 m × 2 m of floor space is enough for a compact shower en-suite.

Choices to weigh up in Bromsgrove

Refit of an existing en-suite

Stripping out an old en-suite and fitting a larger low-profile tray, a better shower, wall-hung furniture and good lighting can make a small room much more usable. Using the existing water and waste positions keeps costs down, and replacing old tray seals and grout lines removes common sources of leaks.

Box room or cupboard conversion

A small box room beside the main bedroom, or a large built-in cupboard, can become an en-suite with a new doorway knocked through. You keep the main bedroom whole, at the cost of a small room. If the wall between them is load-bearing, the new doorway needs a properly sized lintel and Building Regulations approval.

En-suite bathrooms in Bromsgrove: common questions

What guarantees come with an en-suite?

Showers, trays, toilets, taps and furniture carry manufacturers' guarantees, with the terms set out in your quote. Some showers need registering or annual servicing to keep their guarantee valid, and we'll tell you if that applies. You'll get the electrical certificate and, for a new en-suite, the building control completion certificate. If anything we fitted isn't right, call us.

Which postcodes in Bromsgrove do you work in?

We cover B61 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Bromsgrove, neighbouring Catshill and Alvechurch are covered too.

Is there enough room for an en-suite in my bedroom?

A compact shower en-suite needs roughly 1.5 m × 2 m, and less with a corner shower and a wall-hung basin. The bigger question is drainage: an en-suite near the soil stack is simple, while one on the far side of the house may need a longer waste run or a pumped system. We measure and check the waste route at the survey before suggesting a layout.

Does Bromsgrove District Council need to approve my en-suite?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Bromsgrove is provided by Bromsgrove District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
