Working in Hartley

In Hartley we cover DA3; we also cover Longfield, 0.7 miles away, and Swanscombe.

Hartley gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Hartley 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 Hartley and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices.

Most of Kent has very 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 product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
A clear view of which changes are cheap and which mean moving drainage or opening floors
A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
A measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing

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.

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 Hartley: questions

Do you charge for bathroom design in Hartley?

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

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

Building control for Hartley 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 Hartley.

Is the home survey in Hartley 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.

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.
