What do you get with bathroom installation?
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.

How is bathroom installation approved in Letchworth Garden City?
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. Electrical work in bathrooms is notifiable in many cases, and new bathrooms need ventilation that meets building regulations.
What should Letchworth Garden City homeowners check first?
- Wet rooms need a fall to the drain and full waterproofing.
- Moving a toilet depends on the soil pipe route.
