Bathrooms and en-suites in Hove

Covering Hove

We work in Hove (BN3) and the places around it, including Brighton, Rottingdean and Burgess Hill.

Homes in the South East

Many South East homes are inter-war or post-war semis and detached houses with room for rear and side extensions, while historic town centres and villages bring conservation area and listed building controls.

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.

What is the guide price for bathroom installation in Hove?

Indicative costs for bathrooms and en-suites. London and the South East usually sit towards the top of each range.

Bathrooms and en-suites	Guide price incl. VAT
En-suite or shower room	£5,500 to £10,000
Family bathroom refit	£7,000 to £12,000
Premium bathroom or wet room	£12,000 to £20,000

What approvals does bathroom installation need in England?

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?

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.

What happens after I enquire?

Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
