Which options suit homes in Burntwood?

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.

Loft conversion en-suite

Most loft conversions include a shower room for the new bedroom. Head height decides where the shower can go, often within the dormer, and the waste ideally connects to the existing soil stack where it passes through the roof space. Planning it with the loft design keeps the plumbing simple.

Before you book in Burntwood

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.

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your en-suite and arrange a time to visit.

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.

Does Lichfield 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 Burntwood is provided by Lichfield District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
