Working in Southsea

We work right across Southsea — PO1, PO4 and PO5 — and in neighbouring Portsmouth and Gosport.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Southsea: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Southsea bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move. A design survey in Southsea covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork.

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 clear view of which changes are cheap and which mean moving drainage or opening floors
A product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail
A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one

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.

Tile setting-out

Centring tiles on the window, basin or niche avoids thin slivers at the edges. Large tiles mean fewer joints but need flatter walls.

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 Southsea: questions

Do you charge for bathroom design in Southsea?

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

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

Building control for Southsea 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 Southsea.

Is the home survey in Southsea 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.

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.
