En-suite bathrooms in Worcestershire

Before your en-suite in Worcestershire

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 Worcestershire, building control is provided by the district or borough council for your town or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Siting the en-suite close to the existing soil stack is usually the simplest and most reliable layout.
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 option fits your home?

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.

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.

En-suite bathrooms in Worcestershire: common questions

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.
