What does ensuite installation in Merseyside involve?

  • Tiling, flooring and finishing
  • Survey of room size, drainage and water pressure
  • Shower, WC, basin and heated towel rail
  • Extractor fan with overrun
  • Tanking and waterproof wall boards
  • Lighting and electrics to bathroom zones

Which rules apply in Merseyside?

  • Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.
  • National rules ask for an adequate number of bathrooms, WCs and basins and suitably located kitchens; numeric ratios are set by each council.
  • A conversion can be a material change of use under the building regulations, so confirm with building control before work starts.
  • Electrical installations must be inspected and tested at least every 5 years; remedial work is due within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so.
  • Council standards often step up at 5 and 6 sharers, for example a separate WC at 5 and a second bathroom from 6.

Councils in England can add additional licensing and Article 4 directions on top of the national rules. Check the council’s website for the exact address before you buy or start work.
