Working in Ferndown

As well as Ferndown itself (BH22), we survey in Wimborne Minster, Bournemouth and Christchurch.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Ferndown: free survey, written quote, one team. A renovation survey in Ferndown looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper. In Ferndown flats, the lease and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent.

Most of Dorset 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

New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting

Decisions to make first

Heating

Moving the radiator, adding a heated towel rail or laying underfloor heating is simpler while the room is stripped.

Pipe material

Copper suits exposed runs and the area near the boiler. Plastic pipe is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.

Rules that apply in England

In England, structural changes, new drainage or a new connection to the soil stack under Part H, and new circuits under Part P can all be building regulations work. A registered electrician can self-certify the electrics; structural and drainage work may need a building notice or a full plans application to building control.

A bathroom renovation in Ferndown usually costs £7,600–£15,250 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.

Who handles building control for a bathroom renovation in Ferndown?

Building control for Ferndown 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 bathroom renovation take?

Allow 8–15 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 Ferndown.

Is the home survey in Ferndown 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.

Can you renovate a bathroom in a listed building?

Yes, with listed building consent where the work affects the building's character. That can include removing original features, changing internal walls or running new soil and vent pipes through walls. Consent comes from the council and must be in place before work starts, so the design allows time for it.
