Working in Dorchester

As well as Dorchester itself (DT1), we survey in Weymouth, Yeovil and Poole.

Dorchester gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Dorchester bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move. Whether you are in Dorchester or elsewhere in Dorset, layout options come with an itemised written quote.

Water across much of Dorset is 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.

What the job includes

A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
A product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan

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.

Planning for later

Timber noggins in the walls for future grab rails, a wider door or a level shower floor cost far less to build in now than to add later.

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.

Bathroom design in Dorchester: questions

Do you charge for bathroom design in Dorchester?

Not separately. The home survey, layout options and itemised written quote are free, and the detailed design is part of a supply-and-fit job. A complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom in Dorchester typically costs £6,600–£12,250 including VAT.

Is the water hard in Dorchester?

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

Building control for Dorchester is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Can you design a bathroom around products I have already chosen?

Yes. Tell us the products at the survey and we will check they fit the room, the water pressure and the drainage before drawing the layout around them. If something will not work, such as a shower valve that needs more pressure than your system gives, we say so before you buy anything else.
