En-suite installation in Kidsgrove: what we do

We fit en-suite shower rooms in HMO bedrooms across Kidsgrove, starting with a check that each bedroom still meets its size standard once the en-suite is built. Councils take different views on whether en-suite floor area counts, so we confirm the local position first.

Older houses often have joists running the wrong way and soil stacks in fixed positions, so in Kidsgrove we check the drainage route under the floor before quoting. Every en-suite we fit in Staffordshire is finished with a ducted fan, certified electrics and fire stopping.
