Working in Hythe

We work right across Hythe — SO45 — and in neighbouring Southampton and Totton.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Hythe: free survey, written quote, one team. In Hythe flats, the lease and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent. If your Hythe home is older and the bathroom still has original pipework or plaster behind the tiles, the survey shows whether a renovation or a refit makes more sense.

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

New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
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

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.

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.
