Bathrooms and en-suites in Dartford

Covering Dartford

Alongside Dartford, we also cover Bexley, Swanley (4 miles to the south-west) and Welling.

Homes in the South East

The South East has a lot of 1930s and post-war semi-detached housing, well suited to rear extensions and hip-to-gable loft conversions, alongside period properties in conservation areas that need a more careful design.

What is bathroom installation?

Bathroom installation covers stripping out the old suite, altering plumbing and wiring, waterproofing, tiling, and fitting the new bath, shower, toilet, basin and heated towel rail. We also build new en-suites and shower rooms in lofts and extensions.

How much should I budget for bathroom installation?

What bathrooms and en-suites typically cost. These are guide ranges; the written quote for your house replaces them.

En-suite or shower room	£5,500 to £10,000

Do you need permission for bathroom installation in Dartford?

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. Electrical work in bathrooms is notifiable in many cases, and new bathrooms need ventilation that meets building regulations.

What can change the price or programme?

Moving a toilet depends on the soil pipe route.
Large-format tiles need flat walls, which may mean re-boarding.
