Working in Dartford

We cover every part of Dartford, including DA1, and nearby Bexley (2.8 miles) and Swanley (3.8 miles).

In Dartford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. A design survey in Dartford covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork. If your Dartford bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move.

Supplies across most of Kent are very 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 measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
A product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics

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.

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.

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 Dartford?

Building control for Dartford 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.
