En-suite bathrooms in Redditch

Before your en-suite in Redditch

Work like this in Redditch rarely needs planning permission, but parts of the job must meet Building Regulations — certified electrical work, ventilation or energy-efficiency standards, for example. Your quote shows how each part is signed off. If planning does come into it, say for a listed building, Redditch Borough Council is the authority.

New circuits, and changes to circuits near the shower, are notifiable electrical work under Part P.
Insulating the new stud wall helps reduce noise between the en-suite and the bedroom.
Macerator WCs are only allowed where the house also has a toilet that drains by gravity.

Which options suit homes in Redditch?

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.

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.

What does your en-suite cost in Redditch?

Do you cover Redditch?

Yes. Redditch (B97) is about 15 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.

Will I need permission from the council in Redditch?

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