Working in Paignton

We work right across Paignton — TQ2, TQ3 and TQ4 — and in neighbouring Torquay and Brixham.

Homes in and around Paignton vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. A design survey in Paignton covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork. If your Paignton bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move.

Supplies across most of Devon are soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
A measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one
A clear view of which changes are cheap and which mean moving drainage or opening floors

Decisions to make first

The door

Re-hanging the door on the other side, fitting a sliding pocket door or moving the opening can free up a whole wall in a small room.

Keep or change the layout

Keeping the WC and shower where they are saves on plumbing. The WC is the costly one to move, because it is tied to the soil stack.

Rules that apply in England

In England, a new connection to the soil stack or new drainage can be building regulations work under Part H, and new circuits or alterations to circuits in the bathroom are notifiable under Part P. Where a new bathroom is formed, Approved Document F asks for extract at 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous.

What is the best layout for a small bathroom?

In most small bathrooms the most practical layout puts the bath or shower along the longest wall, the WC on or close to the soil stack and the basin nearest the door. Swapping a bath for a walk-in shower, using short-projection pieces and hanging them on the wall all free up floor. Our small bathrooms page covers typical layouts.
