- Waterproofing (tanking) of wet areas
- Tiling, sanitaryware and brassware
- Extractor fan, lighting and heated towel rail

How is bathroom installation approved in Dronfield?
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 affect bathroom installation?
- Moving a toilet depends on the soil pipe route.
- Large-format tiles need flat walls, which may mean re-boarding.
