Water in Essex
Supplies across most of Essex are very hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
Rules for bathrooms in England
A like-for-like bathroom refit does not need planning permission. Electrical work in a bathroom must meet BS 7671, with RCD protection and IP-rated fittings near the bath and shower, and new taps, toilets and showers must meet the water fittings rules.
In England, new circuits and most changes to wiring in a room with a bath or shower are notifiable under Part P, so a registered electrician certifies them. New drainage or a new extractor where there was none can also be building regulations work; we tell you at the survey and handle the notification.

Do bathroom refits in Essex need building regulations approval?
A like-for-like bathroom refit does not need planning permission. Electrical work in a bathroom must meet BS 7671, with RCD protection and IP-rated fittings near the bath and shower, and new taps, toilets and showers must meet the water fittings rules.
In England, new circuits and most changes to wiring in a room with a bath or shower are notifiable under Part P, so a registered electrician certifies them. New drainage or a new extractor where there was none can also be building regulations work; we tell you at the survey and handle the notification.
Is the survey free?
Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get an itemised written quote, with no obligation to go ahead.
