Working in Ferndown

In Ferndown we cover BH22; we also cover Wimborne Minster, 4 miles away, and Bournemouth.

Ferndown gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Ferndown bathroom has pipes boxed in at odd angles, a fitted run is often the neatest way to hide them for good. If you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Ferndown bathroom, we show you both options before you decide.

Most of Dorset has hard water. 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

Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling

Decisions to make first

Tiling height

Tiling just the wet areas keeps the cost down. Full-height tiling looks better and is easier to wipe clean.

Furniture finish

Matt or gloss lacquer, wood-effect, painted shaker or handleless. Darker finishes hide marks; lighter ones make a small room feel bigger.

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.

More about fitted bathrooms

Fitted bathrooms in Ferndown: questions

What is the price of a fitted bathroom in Ferndown?

A fitted bathroom in Ferndown usually costs £6,600–£12,250 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Ferndown?

Building control for Ferndown 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.

How long does a fitted bathroom take?

Allow 6–10 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 Ferndown.

Is the home survey in Ferndown 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.

How do you get to the cistern behind fitted furniture?

Concealed cisterns are reached through the flush plate opening or a removable panel in the WC unit. We fit an isolation valve so the cistern can be serviced without draining the system.
