Planning your en-suite in Warwickshire
Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Warwickshire? Check with the district or borough council for your town 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.
- New circuits, and changes to circuits near the shower, are notifiable electrical work under Part P.
- Roughly 1.5 m × 2 m of floor space is enough for a compact shower en-suite.
- Building control approval for a new en-suite can come from the district or borough council for your town or a registered building control approver.

Which options suit homes in Warwickshire?
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.
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.
How much should you budget in Warwickshire?
Prices in Warwickshire match the rest of our area: £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.

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.

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Warwickshire is provided by the district or borough council for your town or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
