En-suite bathrooms in Codsall

Planning your en-suite in Codsall

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Codsall? Check with South Staffordshire Council before changing the outside of your home. Otherwise the main rules for your en-suite are Building Regulations, and we'll explain at the survey which certificates you'll receive.

Macerator WCs are only allowed where the house also has a toilet that drains by gravity.
New circuits, and changes to circuits near the shower, are notifiable electrical work under Part P.
Siting the en-suite close to the existing soil stack is usually the simplest and most reliable layout.

Which option fits your home?

Pumped or macerator drainage

Where gravity drainage isn't possible, a pumped shower waste or macerator WC lets an en-suite go where it otherwise couldn't. Building Regulations only allow a macerator WC where the house also has a toilet draining by gravity. They need a power supply and occasional maintenance, so we treat them as a fallback rather than first choice.

New en-suite in the main bedroom

A stud wall is built across part of the bedroom, usually along the wall nearest the soil stack, to create a shower room. Insulating the new wall helps keep noise down. A pocket door saves the space a swinging door needs, and a window or roof light inside the en-suite is a bonus, though not essential if extraction is right.

How much should you budget in Codsall?

Expect to budget between £3,800 and £15,000 depending on size and specification in Codsall. A new 1.5 m × 2.2 m shower en-suite formed in a double bedroom near the soil stack: typically £7,000–£9,500.

Your questions answered

How much disruption will there be in the bedroom?

The bedroom will be a work area for most of the job, so it's best to sleep elsewhere if you can. We move and cover furniture, protect the carpet or floor, and seal the doorway to keep dust in. Floorboards may be lifted along the waste route, sometimes into a neighbouring room, and we tell you in advance.

How do I book a survey in Codsall?

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.

Who approves en-suite bathrooms in Codsall?

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