Working in Poole

We work right across Poole — BH12, BH13, BH14 and 3 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Bournemouth and Ferndown.

Poole has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. For listed and period properties in Poole, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind. If you have just bought a house in Poole, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust.

Water across much of Dorset is 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

Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation

Decisions to make first

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.

Combining rooms

Taking out the wall between a bathroom and a separate WC gives one larger room, but it is structural work and may need building control.

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.

What is the price of a bathroom renovation in Poole?

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

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 Poole.

Is the home survey in Poole 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.

Do you cover BH12 in Poole?

Yes. We cover all of Poole, including BH12, BH13, BH14, BH15 and 2 more postcode districts, and nearby Bournemouth, Ferndown and Christchurch. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do I need building regulations approval for a bathroom renovation?

Often, for parts of the job. New electrical circuits, new drainage or connections to the soil stack, and structural changes such as removing a wall can all be building regulations work. Replacing a suite in the same positions usually is not. We tell you which items apply to your job and who will notify them.
