Bathrooms and en-suites in Swanage

Covering Swanage

Swanage is about 22 miles east of Dorchester. We also cover Poole (7 miles to the north), Bournemouth and Christchurch.

Homes in the South West

The South West mixes stone and render cottages, Victorian terraces in the larger towns and modern estates, and many historic centres are conservation areas where materials and roof shapes are closely controlled.

What does bathroom installation involve?

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 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 should Swanage homeowners check first?

Wet rooms need a fall to the drain and full waterproofing.
Large-format tiles need flat walls, which may mean re-boarding.
