New-Build Ensuite Fit-Out in Hanley
Compact, well-laid-out ensuites built into bedrooms and loft spaces.
Most new-build ensuites in Hanley come from the developer with a 1700×760 tray, a low-pressure electric shower, one basin, and 3-course tile splashbacks. Livable, but not what people want two years in.
We upgrade without invalidating the NHBC warranty on the surrounding fabric — clear scope of work, waste and water lines mapped to the developer's as-builts, and a photo record of every hidden joint before boarding goes back on.
We've fitted ensuite installation in Hanley long enough to know the houses inside out.
New-Build Ensuite Fit-Out FAQs — Hanley
- Will upgrading the ensuite affect my NHBC warranty in Hanley?
- The warranty on the wider house isn't affected — only the work we do is our responsibility, and we back that with our own written guarantee. We work to the developer's as-builts wherever supplied.
- Can you upgrade to a bigger shower tray?
- Yes — most Hanley new-build ensuites will take an 1800×800 or 1200×800 tray after a small stud-work adjustment. We check the pump/gravity supply first so pressure keeps up.
- How long does a new-build ensuite upgrade take?
- Typically 4–6 working days for a full strip and refit. Cosmetic upgrades (retile, new screen, new brassware) run 2–3 days. Fixed quote after survey.
- Can you match the rest of the house style?
- Yes — we bring tile and stone samples to your Hanley home so the ensuite reads as intentional, not bolted-on. Colour-matched to floors and joinery where you want it.
- Are you fully insured for work in Hanley?
- Yes — we hold full public liability cover and every job in Hanley comes with a written workmanship guarantee.
- Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Hanley home liveable while the work runs.
Where new-build {town} ensuites underdeliver
Owners of new-build houses who want to upgrade the developer spec in Hanley hit a recurring set of issues with new-build ensuite fit-out:
Base-spec 1700×760 trays swapped without checking wall build-up — flagged regularly on Hanley jobs.
Electric shower upgrades that outrun the incoming supply cable — flagged regularly on Hanley jobs.
Retile jobs done straight over the developer's paint-only walls — flagged regularly on Hanley jobs.
On the Hanley side of our patch: stud walls that won't take a wall-hung wc frame without bracing.
Boiler too far from the new ensuite for instant hot water, particularly in Hanley properties of this age.
