Covering Folkestone
Our coverage around Folkestone (CT19) also includes Dover, Ashford and Deal.
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.
- Strip-out and disposal
- Plumbing and waste alterations
- Extractor fan, lighting and heated towel rail

Do you need permission for bathroom installation in Folkestone?
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
Bathroom refits do not need planning permission.
What should Folkestone homeowners check first?
- Low water pressure limits the choice of shower; a pump or unvented cylinder may be needed.
- Wet rooms need a fall to the drain and full waterproofing.
What are the steps?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
