Working in Whitstable

In Whitstable we cover CT5; we also cover Herne Bay, 4.5 miles away, and Canterbury.

In Whitstable, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are in Whitstable and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices. A design survey in Whitstable covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork.

Water across much of Kent is 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 product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
A measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Bathroom design in Whitstable: questions

Do you charge for bathroom design in Whitstable?

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

Is the water hard in Whitstable?

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

Building control for Whitstable 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.

Which bathroom layout changes cost the most?

Moving the WC is usually the costliest single change, because it connects to the soil stack through a 110 mm waste that needs a steady fall. Forming a level-access shower floor and moving a door or wall also add significant cost. Moving a basin a short distance, or swapping a bath for a shower in the same space, costs much less.
