Working in Swanscombe

As well as Swanscombe itself (DA10), we survey in Grays, Gravesend and Longfield.

Swanscombe gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. A design survey in Swanscombe covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork. If your Swanscombe 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

Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
A clear view of which changes are cheap and which mean moving drainage or opening floors
A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one
Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts

Decisions to make first

Planning for later

Timber noggins in the walls for future grab rails, a wider door or a level shower floor cost far less to build in now than to add later.

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 Swanscombe: questions

Do you charge for bathroom design in Swanscombe?

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

Do you cover DA10 in Swanscombe?

Yes. We cover all of Swanscombe, including DA10, and nearby Grays, Gravesend and Longfield. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Swanscombe?

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

Building control for Swanscombe 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.

Do I need building regulations approval for a new bathroom layout?

Sometimes. Moving fittings within an existing bathroom is not always building regulations work, but a new connection to the soil stack, new drainage, new electrical circuits or structural changes can be. Forming a bathroom where there was not one before also brings in ventilation rules. We flag what applies when we draw the layout.
