Working in Ferndown

In Ferndown we cover BH22; we also cover Wimborne Minster, 4 miles away, and Bournemouth.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Ferndown: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Ferndown bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move. If you are in Ferndown and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices.

Most of Dorset has hard water. 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 conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one
A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
A clear view of which changes are cheap and which mean moving drainage or opening floors
A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan

Decisions to make first

Where the shower goes

A shower on an outside wall is easier to ventilate; one under a sloping ceiling needs full head height where you stand, not just at the high side.

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.

More about bathroom design

Bathroom design in Ferndown: questions

Do you charge for bathroom design in Ferndown?

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 Ferndown typically costs £6,600–£12,250 including VAT.

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

Building control for Ferndown 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.

How long does a new bathroom design take?

Allow survey visit plus design on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Ferndown.

Is the home survey in Ferndown really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do I need building regulations approval for a new bathroom layout?

Sometimes. Moving fittings within an existing bathroom is not always building regulations work, but a new connection to the soil stack, new drainage, new electrical circuits or structural changes can be. Forming a bathroom where there was not one before also brings in ventilation rules. We flag what applies when we draw the layout.
