Covering Tunbridge Wells
Tunbridge Wells is about 14 miles south-west of Maidstone. We also cover Tonbridge (4 miles to the north), Crowborough and Sevenoaks.
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 included in bathroom installation in Tunbridge Wells?
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.
- Strip-out and disposal
- Plumbing and waste alterations
- Extractor fan, lighting and heated towel rail

Do you need permission for bathroom installation in Tunbridge Wells?
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.
What should Tunbridge Wells homeowners check first?
- Low water pressure limits the choice of shower; a pump or unvented cylinder may be needed.
- Large-format tiles need flat walls, which may mean re-boarding.
How does the project run?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
