En-suite bathrooms in Moseley

Planning your en-suite in Moseley

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 Moseley, 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.
En-suites without a window need an extract fan that runs on for around 15 minutes after use.
Roughly 1.5 m × 2 m of floor space is enough for a compact shower en-suite.

Which options suit homes in Moseley?

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.

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.

Before you book in Moseley

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 Moseley?

Yes. Moseley (B13) is about 7 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.

How long does it take to add an en-suite?

A new en-suite usually takes 2–3 weeks on site, and a refit of an existing one 1–2 weeks. Allow time beforehand for the Building Regulations application on new en-suites, and for the suite and tiles to arrive. Plaster needs to dry before tiling, which is built into the programme, so it doesn't catch you out.

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 Moseley is provided by Birmingham City Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
