Working in Southampton

In Southampton we cover SO14, SO15, SO16 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover Hythe, 3 miles away, and Totton.

In a city the size of Southampton, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. For Southampton bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is. Landlords with flats or houses in Southampton can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies.

Most of Hampshire has 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

First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked

Decisions to make first

Making good

Decide whether you want the quote to cover making good and decorating, or to stop at the tiles so you can paint yourself.

Who buys the materials

Adhesive, grout, boards, tanking, wastes and fixings can come from you or from us. The quote says which, so nothing is assumed.

Rules that apply in England

In England, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 apply to the products you supply as well as to the installation. Electrical changes such as new lights or a fan are notifiable under Part P and are done by a registered electrician or notified to building control. New drainage or a new connection to the soil stack can be Part H work.

Bathroom fitting in Southampton: questions

How much does bathroom fitting cost in Southampton?

Bathroom fitting in Southampton usually costs £2,500–£6,700 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover SO14 in Southampton?

Yes. We cover all of Southampton, including SO14, SO15, SO16, SO17 and 2 more postcode districts, and nearby Hythe, Totton and Hedge End. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Southampton?

Who handles building control for bathroom fitting in Southampton?

Building control for Southampton 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.

Will you fit a bathroom suite I bought online?

Yes. Send us the product list or links before the survey, and we will check sizes, wastes, valves and the cistern type against your room and plumbing. Missing or mismatched parts cause most fit-only delays, and they are far easier to sort before the start date than halfway through.
