Working in Plymouth

We cover every part of Plymouth, including PL1, PL2, PL3 and 3 more postcode districts, and nearby Paignton (25.7 miles) and Newton Abbot (25.8 miles).

Plymouth is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. A design survey in Plymouth covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork. Whether you are in Plymouth or elsewhere in Devon, layout options come with an itemised written quote.

Most of Devon is supplied with soft water. 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

Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail
A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
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.

Storage

Fitted furniture, a vanity with a tall cupboard, or recessed niches and a mirror cabinet. Recessed storage costs no floor space but needs a stud wall or deep boxing to sit in.

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.

Who handles building control for a new bathroom design in Plymouth?

What does a bathroom designer do?

A bathroom designer works out the layout, products and finishes that suit your room and budget, within the limits set by the drainage, water supply, structure and electrics. The result is a drawing and a product list that the fitters build from, so the price can be fixed before anything is ordered.
