01
Usable space
We measure the bedroom, door positions, windows, wardrobes and circulation so the new room does not destroy the space it is meant to improve.
New en-suite design & installation
Add a private en-suite that works with the room, the property and the drainage.
We create new bedroom, loft and compact en-suites from our Fulham base, starting with feasibility rather than forcing a showroom layout into a space that cannot support it.
What you are actually adding
A new en-suite is a small building project, not just three bathroom fittings.
The shower, toilet and basin are the visible part. Behind them can be new walls, a door, soil and waste pipework, hot and cold water, ventilation, electrics, waterproofing, heating, tiling and making good the bedroom.
That is why our first question is not “which suite do you like?” It is whether the room can support a proper en-suite without leaving you with awkward access, unreliable drainage or an unusable bedroom.
New partitions, door opening and room formation where required
Soil, waste and water-service planning before fittings are chosen
Ventilation, electrics, waterproofing and heating considered as part of the room
Sanitaryware, shower, tiling and final finishing coordinated as one project
Feasibility first
Five things we need to know before saying an en-suite will work.
A compact room can be perfectly workable, but only when the services and remaining bedroom are considered at the same time.
02
Soil & waste route
The WC needs a sensible discharge route and the shower and basin need reliable falls. The route can influence the whole position of the en-suite.
03
Water supply
We look at hot-water provision, pressure and flow so the proposed shower and fittings suit the property rather than only the brochure.
04
Ventilation
A new internal shower room needs a proper ventilation strategy. We consider the route and practical installation before the room is enclosed.
05
Structure & access
Floor construction, ceiling height, access for pipework and the route for materials all affect how straightforward the build will be.
Survey
Free home survey
For suitable planned projects, we inspect the room and discuss the options before giving a project-specific proposal.
En-suite options
Different properties need different types of en-suite.
There is no single “standard” en-suite. The layout should follow the room and the building.
Bedroom
En-suite within an existing bedroom
Form a private shower room inside a suitable bedroom while protecting the remaining sleeping, storage and circulation space.
How bedroom en-suites are plannedCompact
Small and space-efficient en-suites
Use carefully selected shower sizes, basins, WC projections and door arrangements where every centimetre matters.
See small en-suite planningLoft
Loft en-suites
Plan around sloping ceilings, restricted headroom, floor structure, long service runs and the practical route for waste and ventilation.
See loft en-suite planningRental
Spare-room and landlord en-suites
For rental rooms, we look at the build alongside the remaining bedroom size, durability and the realistic value of having private facilities.

What the installation process involves.
The exact sequence varies, but a properly formed en-suite normally moves through these stages rather than jumping straight to fitting products.
1
Survey & layout
Measure the space, check the property and agree where the shower, WC, basin and door can realistically sit.
2
Form the room
Create or alter partitions and openings where needed, while planning access for services and future maintenance.
3
First fix
Install or alter soil, waste and water pipework together with the required electrical and ventilation routes.
4
Prepare & waterproof
Prepare floors and walls, form shower areas and waterproof the wet zones before decorative finishes are installed.
5
Tile & fit out
Install tiles or agreed finishes, sanitaryware, brassware, shower enclosure, heating, lighting and accessories.
6
Test & hand over
Test the room, complete finishing details and leave the new en-suite ready for normal use.
Products come after feasibility
We can work with the style you want without ignoring what has to fit behind it.
You can bring product links, screenshots or a look you like. We then check dimensions, clearances and installation requirements before anything important is ordered.
Shower trays, screens and doors checked against the actual opening
Wall-hung, close-coupled and compact WC options considered against the service void
Basins and vanities sized around door swings and usable standing space
Brassware and shower performance checked against the water system
Budget & programme
What should you allow for a new en-suite?
A new en-suite costs more than replacing an existing bathroom because the room and services often have to be created from scratch.
Budget guide
Many projects around £12,000–£18,000+
That is a broad planning range, not a fixed quotation. Simpler layouts with nearby drainage and existing services can come in lower, while new walls, difficult access, specification, tiling, ventilation and structural work can move the final figure higher.
Read the detailed en-suite cost guideTime
Allow roughly two working weeks as a starting point
A straightforward build can often be planned around that sort of programme. More complex drainage, structural changes, drying times, specialist finishes or difficult access can extend it.

Questions before you enquire
New en-suite FAQs
Can you add an en-suite to an existing bedroom?+
Often, yes. The deciding factors are usable bedroom space and whether we can create practical routes for the WC soil pipe, shower and basin waste, water supplies and ventilation. We check those before committing to a layout.
What is actually included in building a new en-suite?+
Depending on the property, the work can include partitions, a new door, drainage, hot and cold water, ventilation, electrics, waterproofing, wall and floor finishes, sanitaryware, shower fittings, heating and making good the surrounding bedroom.
Can you build an en-suite where there is no nearby soil pipe?+
Sometimes, but the drainage strategy becomes a key part of the survey. A conventional gravity route is preferable where it is practical; other solutions may be possible in suitable situations. We will not promise a layout until the route has been assessed.
How small can an en-suite be?+
There is no useful single minimum that guarantees a good room. Shower size, door position, WC projection, basin depth, maintenance access and the remaining bedroom all matter. Compact rooms work best when every fitting is selected around the measured space.
How much does a new en-suite cost?+
Many complete new en-suite projects fall around £12,000–£18,000+, although simpler layouts with nearby drainage and existing services can come in lower. The final quotation depends on the actual room, drainage route, building work and finish.
How long does it take?+
Roughly two working weeks can be a sensible starting allowance for a straightforward project. Complex drainage, structural work, specialist finishes and property access can add time.
Do I have to buy products from you?+
No. You can show us products you like and we can check them against the room and installation. The quotation will make clear what is supplied, what is an allowance and what is customer supplied.
Want to know whether an en-suite will work in your room?
Send us the postcode, a few photographs and a rough idea of where you would like the en-suite. If it looks suitable, we can arrange a free home survey and work out the practical route before you spend money on products.
