HOME EDITION
explore installing a pump or pressurised system. Drainage is just as essential, and incorrect gradients or poor planning can lead to costly mistakes. Finding a reputable plumber is vital too. Start by asking for recommendations from friends and family, or browse trusted review platforms like Checkatrade or Rated People. Look for plumbers with existing experience in bathroom installations and make sure they’re registered with a professional body, such as the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering. Don’t be afraid to ask for references or examples of previous work. En-suite installations range from £5,000 to £15,000, depending on the size, finishes and additional work required, such as boosting water pressure or adjusting plumbing. Get multiple quotes and include a contingency for unexpected expenses. With thoughtful planning and expert advice, your en-suite can be a seamless addition to your home, combining style, functionality and value, while providing much-needed luxury and serenity for that all-important me time.
