Geberit bathroom installation in Stoke Poges
Stoke Poges' larger plots — many set well back from the road around Stoke Park's golf and country club — generally mean we can reposition a waste run or widen a doorway without hitting a structural wall, and that extra room often gets used to add a second en-suite off a principal bedroom, which is exactly where a Geberit concealed cistern and wall-hung WC tend to go in.
A second en-suite, fitted properly
Adding a second en-suite is one of the more common projects we take on in Stoke Poges, and Geberit's concealed cisterns, wall-hung WCs and AquaClean shower toilets are the sanitaryware brand that comes up most often in that work. A wall-hung pan with a flush plate set into the wall suits a smaller en-suite footprint better than a close-coupled WC with a visible cistern, which is part of why it's specified so often in these additional-room projects.
The carrier frame has to go in before anything else
Correct frame selection and structural fixing matter more with Geberit than with most brands, because the full weight of the cistern and pan sits on the carrier frame, not the wall tiles. On a second en-suite built into previously unused space, that frame has to be fixed to solid structure — floor and stud or masonry — before any boarding or tiling goes on, which means the decision gets made early in the programme, not adjusted later.
Why Stoke Poges' plots make the planning easier
Stoke Poges is a village of large plots and substantial houses, ranging from older period detached homes to more recent executive-style builds, many set well back from the road on sizeable gardens. That scale generally gives us far more room to manoeuvre on layout than a smaller property would allow, which matters when we're deciding exactly where a new en-suite's Geberit frame sits relative to existing soil pipes and structural walls — relocating a waste run rarely runs into the kind of constraint a terraced house would present.
Getting started
Every project starts with a £125 survey, where we work out the frame position, fixing and access detail for your chosen Geberit product before you commit to an order. Fit-only installations start from £3,500, we've been fitting bathrooms for 30 years from our Bracknell base, and repairs on an existing installation start from £200.
Sequencing a new en-suite correctly
On a second en-suite built into previously unused space, the order of work matters as much as the fixing itself: the Geberit frame goes in and gets bolted to solid floor and wall structure first, then first-fix plumbing is run to the frame, then boarding and tiling close everything up around the access panel, and only then does the flush plate and pan go on. Getting that sequence right the first time avoids the kind of rework that costs far more than the extra care at the planning stage.
Frequently asked questions
A wall-hung WC with a concealed cistern is a common choice for added en-suites because it suits a smaller footprint better than a close-coupled WC with a visible cistern — it's the sanitaryware we fit most often in this kind of project.
Generally yes for layout — relocating a waste run or widening a doorway for level access rarely hits a structural limit here — though the Geberit carrier frame itself still needs the same correct fixing regardless of plot size.
Because the cistern and pan weight sit entirely on the frame, not the wall tiles. Correct frame selection and structural fixing matter more with Geberit than with most other brands we fit.
Fit-only installations start from £3,500, following a £125 survey. Repairs on an existing installation start from £200, with a £500 minimum call-out for emergencies.
The frame is fixed to solid floor and wall structure first, then first-fix plumbing is run to it, then boarding and tiling close around the access panel, and the flush plate and pan go on last.
