Covering Swindon
We work in Swindon (SN1, SN25, SN26) and the places around it, including Calne, Wantage and Chippenham.
Homes in the South West
In the South West, matching local stone, render or slate is often the main design question, and conservation areas and listed buildings are common in historic towns.
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.
- Design and layout
- Strip-out and disposal
- Tiling, sanitaryware and brassware

How is bathroom installation approved in Swindon?
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it 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.
- Wet rooms need a fall to the drain and full waterproofing.
What are the steps?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
Bathrooms and en-suites: common questions

One to three weeks depending on size and tiling.
