More information

What en-suite installation covers

En-suite installation is a project-based service that takes your en-suite from plan to fully connected, working plumbing. Work is tailored to the room layout, fixtures and existing pipework.

Typical scope includes:

  • Review of the proposed layout and access for pipe runs and maintenance
  • First fix plumbing: hot and cold water feeds, waste runs and connection points
  • Isolation valves and sensible service access where possible
  • Second fix plumbing: connecting sanitaryware and brassware
  • Connection and testing of all water and waste systems
  • Leak checks, basic commissioning and handover

When this service is a good fit

This service is ideal if you want a dependable, practical en-suite that adds day-to-day convenience.

Common situations include:

  • Creating an en-suite in a loft conversion or extended bedroom
  • Replacing an older en-suite with unreliable fittings or recurring leaks
  • Upgrading a rental property to a robust, easy-to-maintain layout
  • Improving facilities for a small commercial space where downtime needs to be minimised

How the installation is delivered

You can expect a clear plan and staged delivery, so the work stays controlled and easy to follow.

  1. Pre-start planning: confirm the layout, fixture positions, and how pipework and wastes will be routed.
  2. First fix: install concealed pipework and wastes before walls and floors are closed.
  3. Second fix: fit and connect the fixtures, valves and traps once surfaces are finished.
  4. Testing and checks: pressure and leak checks, waste flow tests, and final adjustments.

After installation: handover and ongoing reliability

At handover, you will be shown isolation points and any key operating notes for your fittings. If you spot a minor issue once the en-suite is in regular use, snagging can be arranged promptly. For long-term performance, you can also plan routine checks or servicing for connected systems where relevant.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an en-suite installation take?
Timescales depend on access, the amount of new pipework needed, and how the work is phased with other trades. After reviewing the layout and existing services, a clear schedule can be confirmed.
Can you install an en-suite using existing pipework?
Often, yes, but it depends on pipe sizes, condition, and whether the current routes support good flow and drainage. Where reuse is not sensible, upgrades can be recommended to avoid future leaks or poor performance.
Do you fit the sanitaryware and connect showers and taps?
Yes, the service includes second fix plumbing and connection of fixtures as specified. Compatibility is checked so valves, pressures and connections suit the chosen products.
Will the en-suite be tested before handover?
Yes, water and waste systems are tested and checked for leaks and correct operation. Final adjustments are made so the fixtures run properly and wastes clear as they should.
Can you work alongside my builder, tiler or electrician?
Yes, plumbing can be scheduled around other trades to keep the project moving smoothly. Clear coordination helps ensure first fix and second fix stages happen at the right time.
