Southampton is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone.

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
- New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
- Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
- 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
Decisions to make first
Heating
Moving the radiator, adding a heated towel rail or laying underfloor heating is simpler while the room is stripped.
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.
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.
