En-suite bathrooms in Hall Green

Before your en-suite in Hall Green

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 Hall Green, building control is provided by Birmingham City Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Macerator WCs are only allowed where the house also has a toilet that drains by gravity.
Insulating the new stud wall helps reduce noise between the en-suite and the bedroom.
Building control approval for a new en-suite can come from Birmingham City Council or a registered building control approver.

Which options suit homes in Hall Green?

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.

Your questions answered

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.

Do you cover Hall Green?

Yes. Hall Green (B28) is about 9 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

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 Birmingham City Council need to approve my en-suite?

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