Working in New Milton

We work right across New Milton — BH25 — and in neighbouring Christchurch and Bournemouth.

In New Milton, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In New Milton 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 New Milton 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.

Water across much of Hampshire 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
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open

Decisions to make first

How far back to strip

Back to brick gives a clean start. Keeping sound plaster on some walls saves time and money, and the survey shows which walls can stay.

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.

Who handles building control for a bathroom renovation in New Milton?

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

Is the home survey in New Milton 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 I live in the house during a bathroom renovation?

Yes, most people do. Expect dust, noise and the water to be off for short spells, and plan for no bath or shower in that room for two to three weeks. If it is your only toilet, talk to us at the survey about keeping a WC working for as much of the job as possible.
