Working in Dorchester

We work right across Dorchester — DT1 — and in neighbouring Weymouth and Yeovil.

Dorchester gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We survey in Dorchester before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. Fitted furniture suits the many Dorchester bathrooms that have to hold towels, toiletries and cleaning things for a whole household.

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

First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories
A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation
Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go

Decisions to make first

Worktop

Laminate is the budget choice, quartz-effect and solid surface resist water and stains, and a moulded basin-and-top in one piece has no joints to clean.

Heating

A heated towel rail is standard. Electric underfloor heating under the tiles makes the room comfortable and dries the floor quickly.

Rules that apply in England

In England, new circuits and most electrical changes in a bathroom are notifiable under Part P, so they must be done by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or notified to building control. If you are adding a new extractor fan, Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second as the usual intermittent extract rate.

Is the water hard in Dorchester?

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Dorchester?

Building control for Dorchester 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.

Do I need to be at home while the bathroom is fitted?

No, as long as we can get in each day and you are around at the start and at handover. You can give us a key or let us in each morning. We will need your water and power turned off at times, and we will tell you when.
