Which options suit homes in Streetly?
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.
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.
How much should you budget in Streetly?
For a home in Streetly, our guide range is £3,800–£15,000 depending on size and specification. A new 1.5 m × 2.2 m shower en-suite formed in a double bedroom near the soil stack: usually £7,000–£9,500.

Do you cover Streetly?
Yes. Streetly (B74) is about 6 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.
Who approves en-suite bathrooms in Streetly?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Streetly is provided by Walsall Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
