En-suite bathrooms in Penn

Planning your en-suite in Penn

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Penn? Check with City of Wolverhampton 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.

En-suites without a window need an extract fan that runs on for around 15 minutes after use.
Insulating the new stud wall helps reduce noise between the en-suite and the bedroom.
New circuits, and changes to circuits near the shower, are notifiable electrical work under Part P.

Which options suit homes in Penn?

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.

Questions about en-suite bathrooms in Penn

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.

Which postcodes in Penn do you work in?

We cover WV4 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Penn, neighbouring Sedgley and Wombourne are covered too.

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 City of Wolverhampton Council need to approve my en-suite?

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