En-suite bathrooms in Sedgley

Before your en-suite in Sedgley

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 Sedgley, building control is provided by Dudley Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Roughly 1.5 m × 2 m of floor space is enough for a compact shower en-suite.
En-suites without a window need an extract fan that runs on for around 15 minutes after use.
Macerator WCs are only allowed where the house also has a toilet that drains by gravity.

Which option fits your home?

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.

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.

Guide prices for Sedgley

Before you book in Sedgley

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.

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.

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.

Who approves en-suite bathrooms in Sedgley?
