I will be installing an en-suite bathroom from scratch sometime in the next
4 weeks.I have already successfully installed a new downstairs cloakroom wc and replaced an old bathroom suite, so I have a good understanding of most of the work to come,
We have a new combi boiler (which I also installed myself some 12 mths ago), which means I'll be installing a thermostatic mixer shower, wc and basin.
There is also a soil pipe directly outside the location, so no problems there.
The question/s are:
are there any "obscure" building regs regarding ensuites. I will be notifying building control, but it would be nice to know beforehand what special measures, if any, I need to take beforehand.
Obvious ones which spring to mind, are electrics to be checked by Part P person, suitably powerful extractor fan, equipotential bonding, correct type of waste connections to existing soil pipe. I will be using standard
63x36mm stud, which will run on top of an existing joist, the stud will contain fireproof Rockwool insulation, and I'll be covering in 2 layers of plasterboard, then skimming either side. Anything else I should be thinking about, is the stuff about the stud work correct?TIA
