En-suite bathrooms in Nuneaton

En-suite bathrooms in Nuneaton: approvals and local details

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Nuneaton? Check with Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough 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.

Siting the en-suite close to the existing soil stack is usually the simplest and most reliable layout.
En-suites without a window need an extract fan that runs on for around 15 minutes after use.
New circuits, and changes to circuits near the shower, are notifiable electrical work under Part P.

Which options suit homes in Nuneaton?

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.

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.

Questions about en-suite bathrooms in Nuneaton

What should I decide before the en-suite is built?

Decide which side of the bedroom you'd give up, where the bed and wardrobes will go afterwards, and whether you want a sliding pocket door. Choose the shower type and the suite early, as wall-hung toilets and concealed cisterns need frames built into the stud walls. Clear the room as far as possible before the start date.

How do I book a survey in Nuneaton?

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.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Nuneaton?

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