Working in Southsea

As well as Southsea itself (PO1, PO4 and PO5), we survey in Portsmouth, Gosport and South Hayling.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Southsea: free survey, written quote, one team. Fit-only work in Southsea is quoted the same way as supply and fit: an itemised written quote after a survey of the room. Landlords with flats or houses in Southsea can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies.

Supplies across most of Hampshire are 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

Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked

Decisions to make first

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.

Fit-only or supply and fit

Fit-only lets you choose and buy every product yourself; supply and fit puts sourcing, deliveries and returns on us, with one price for everything.

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.

More about bathroom fitting

Bathroom fitting in Southsea: questions

How much does bathroom fitting cost in Southsea?

Bathroom fitting in Southsea usually costs £2,500–£6,700 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Who handles building control for bathroom fitting in Southsea?

Building control for Southsea 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 bathroom fitting take?

Allow 4–8 working days 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 Southsea.

Is the home survey in Southsea 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 should I have ready before the fitter arrives?

Have every product delivered, opened enough to check, and stored somewhere dry near the bathroom. Clear the room and the route to it, and expect the water and toilet to be off at times. If this is your only bathroom, plan where you will wash on the days the shower is out of use.
