Installing an en suite can add value to your home as well as cutting down on the queue for the shower in the morning as family members prepare for work and school. Whether you use some of the bedroom space to create a new en suite, install one as part of an extension, or you simply want to update a current en suite, talk to us today about creating your dream project.
En suite is a French phrase meaning ‘in the room’, and is widely used to describe a bathroom accessible only through a bedroom. It acts as a private bathroom facility for the resident of that room, separate from the master bedroom.
En suites are popular in family homes, where an extra bathroom is advantageous for privacy and convenience.
There are a number of great benefits to installing an en suite bathroom in your home:
The more bathrooms there are available, the easier it is for the whole family to get ready for the day at the same time. If, for example, the parents use their en suite bathroom and children use the master bathroom, it eases the congestion whilst people wait for others to wash and brush their teeth when trying to get ready for work and school.
It also reduces the distance needed for midnight bathroom visits in the dark. This means there is less chance of disturbing the sleep of the other residents of the house.
It is nice to be able to use your bathroom in peace, and an en suite allows just this. With the only access being through your bedroom, it is less likely that anyone will barge in on you enjoying a long soak in the bath.
The master bathroom must appeal to all members of the family and anyone who visits, but that is not the case with the en suite. This is a private bathroom for the people who sleep in that room in particular, so you can design the en suite to fit your tastes and requirements completely.
This ability to put the personal touch on the en suite makes it more inviting and relaxing for the people who use it on a regular basis and marks it out as ‘their space’.
If you don’t have children yet, you might not see the point of an en suite. However, installing the en suite bathroom now future-proofs your home for if they do come along. Even if you have children who have left home, there may be grandchildren on the way, and that will mean you need ever more space to comfortably host your growing brood.

Adding an en suite means finding extra space where there wasn't any before. Here is what homeowners have said about the design ideas, workmanship, and finished rooms we have created.
I used Beeby Construction services to convert the loft in my Victorian terraced property. From start to finish James and his team were knowledgeable, helpful and professional guiding me through the building regulations process and offering ideas and solutions. Nothing was too much trouble and the end result is above and beyond what I expected, I am delighted. I can thoroughly recommend James and his team, they were always on site when agreed and worked swiftly with very minimal disturbance and inconvenience to myself.
James and the team did a fantastic job of converting the garage into a bathroom and a small bedroom, rebuilding the porch and giving it a new layout by moving the front door and windows and replacing the flat roof. They worked to a very high standard, turned up on time and were very pleasant and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they did some additional work for me landscaping the front of the house and some extras I hadn’t got around to like painting the inside of the airing cupboard. Every job was done carefully and completely finished off to my satisfaction and so I would recommend them.
Always dreamed of having a home gym when I get my house and James and the guys made it a reality. Bought the house back in Dec 2018 and had a detached garage that I felt was perfect to convert into a home gym. Saved up for a year, got in touch with James after checking out his website, social media and his reviews. The garage needed a new roof, new door, new floor and so much more! Can not recommend James and the guys enough. I have a few other projects I’d like to do to the house and will be using James for these projects!
An en suite can make a real difference to how a bedroom works, but many homeowners are unsure what is possible within the space they have. These are some of the questions we are most often asked before a project begins.
Not necessarily. Many people are surprised by what can be achieved with the right layout. In some homes, part of a bedroom, a built-in cupboard, a dressing area, or an unused corner can provide enough space for a practical shower room without making the bedroom feel cramped.
For smaller rooms, a shower enclosure is often the most practical choice. Wall-hung fittings, compact basins, and clever storage solutions can also help make the most of the available space while keeping the room comfortable to use every day.
While every property is different, many buyers see an additional shower room connected to a bedroom as a desirable feature. It can improve convenience for families, guests, and future owners, making the property more attractive when it comes time to sell.
In many cases, yes. Older homes often present different challenges when it comes to plumbing routes, drainage, and available space, but there are usually solutions available. We assess the property carefully and explain what is possible before any work starts.
