Working in Gravesend

As well as Gravesend itself (DA11 and DA12), we survey in Swanscombe, Grays and Longfield.

In Gravesend, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Whether you are in Gravesend or elsewhere in Kent, layout options come with an itemised written quote. We measure Gravesend bathrooms on site before drawing anything, so layouts are based on your walls rather than a standard plan.

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 lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
A product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one

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.

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.

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.

What is the best layout for a small bathroom?

In most small bathrooms the most practical layout puts the bath or shower along the longest wall, the WC on or close to the soil stack and the basin nearest the door. Swapping a bath for a walk-in shower, using short-projection pieces and hanging them on the wall all free up floor. Our small bathrooms page covers typical layouts.
