Choices to weigh up in Stourport-on-Severn

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.

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.

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.
