About an extra bedroom and en-suite extension

This service suits you if you need another bedroom, or want a main bedroom with its own bathroom, without converting the loft or moving. You get a first-floor layout that connects well to your landing, an en-suite designed for plumbing and ventilation, a useful room downstairs, the approvals your nation needs and the build, managed by us and carried out by vetted teams working under S&K.

We cover postcode districts EN1, EN2 and N21 in and around Enfield Town, along with neighbouring Ponders End, Oakwood (Greater London) and Edmonton.

Design points for Enfield Town homes

Connecting to the landing

The new bedroom must be reached from the existing landing, usually through a new opening in the outside wall or by taking part of an existing bedroom as a corridor. We look at the stairs and landing first, because a poor connection can waste much of the new space.

Planning the en-suite

An en-suite needs a route for the soil pipe to the drains, enough fall for waste water and an extract fan to the outside under Part F. Placing it over the ground-floor utility or near an existing drain keeps pipework short and hidden.

How we'd run your project

Start at your house
We come to your home in Enfield Town, measure up, check the ground floor walls and roof structure, and note anything near the boundaries.
Design and approvals
We draw the extension and check it against the rules for England, then apply for planning permission or a certificate of lawfulness, whichever fits.
Structure and building control
A structural engineer sizes the foundations and steels, and we get building regulations approval before work starts.
Build it
The new structure goes up first, then we open into the house, finish inside and get the completion certificate.

Questions about extra bedroom and en-suite extensions in Enfield Town

How long does an extra bedroom and en-suite extension take?

Allow 4 to 8 weeks for survey and design, then the approval period (councils should decide householder applications within 8 weeks of validation), then 4 to 8 weeks of technical design, which can overlap. The build itself usually takes 14 to 20 weeks, longer for large or complex designs.

How much does an extra bedroom and en-suite extension cost in Enfield Town?

Which postcodes do you cover around Enfield Town?

We cover Enfield Town (EN1, EN2 and N21) and nearby places including Ponders End, Oakwood (Greater London) and Edmonton, plus the rest of Greater London. The first site visit is free.

How big should a new double bedroom be?

There is no legal minimum size for a bedroom in a house you own, so the test is whether it works. A comfortable double needs room for the bed with space to walk round it, wardrobes and a door that opens freely. We draw furniture on the plans so you can judge the space before anything is built.

Can an en-suite go in a room with no window?

Yes. A shower room without a window is allowed, provided it has a mechanical extract fan to the outside that meets Part F. Many people prefer a window for daylight, but if it faces a neighbour it will usually need obscure glass. We plan the extract route early so the duct is hidden.
