Covering Birmingham
Our coverage around Birmingham (B1, B2, B3) also includes Aston, Smethwick and Acocks Green.
Homes in the West Midlands
Red-brick terraces and inter-war semis make up much of the housing in the West Midlands, which suits rear extensions, dormer lofts and hip-to-gable conversions, with more modern estates on the edges of the towns.
What is included in bathroom installation in Birmingham?
Most bathroom problems come from poor waterproofing and ventilation, so we tank wet areas, fit extraction that actually clears steam, and check water pressure before choosing showers. All electrics in bathrooms are done to the special-location rules.
- Design and layout
- Strip-out and disposal
- Extractor fan, lighting and heated towel rail

How is bathroom installation approved in Birmingham?
Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.
Bathroom refits do not need planning permission.
What can affect bathroom installation?
- Low water pressure limits the choice of shower; a pump or unvented cylinder may be needed.
- Moving a toilet depends on the soil pipe route.
How does the project run?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
Bathrooms and en-suites: common questions
Can you add an en-suite to a bedroom?
Yes, if a waste route to the soil stack is possible. A macerator is an option where it is not.
Do you tank the shower area?
Yes, every wet area is waterproofed before tiling.
Can you visit a house in Birmingham to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
