Working in Fareham

As well as Fareham itself (PO14, PO15 and PO16), we survey in Gosport, Portsmouth and Southsea.

Homes in and around Fareham vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For loft rooms and sloping ceilings in Fareham homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area. If your Fareham bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move.

Most of Hampshire 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 written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
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 product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Bathroom design in Fareham: questions

Do you charge for bathroom design in Fareham?

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 Fareham typically costs £7,300–£13,500 including VAT.

Is the water hard in Fareham?

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

Building control for Fareham 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.

What happens at a bathroom design survey?

At the survey we measure and photograph the room and check the soil stack, waste routes, joists, water pressure, hot water system, electrics and ventilation. We also ask how the room is used and what you want to change. Everything that limits the layout is found at this stage, so the options we draw can actually be built.
