Working in Swanscombe

Swanscombe gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Fitted furniture suits the many Swanscombe bathrooms that have to hold towels, toiletries and cleaning things for a whole household. If you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Swanscombe bathroom, we show you both options before you decide.

Supplies across most of Kent are very 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

Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories

Decisions to make first

Bath, shower or both

Keep a bath for children or soaking, swap it for a walk-in shower if no one uses it, or plan both if the room is big enough.

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.

More about fitted bathrooms

Fitted bathrooms in Swanscombe: questions

How much should I budget for a fitted bathroom in Swanscombe?

A fitted bathroom in Swanscombe usually costs £7,300–£13,500 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.

Do you cover DA10 in Swanscombe?

Yes. We cover all of Swanscombe, including DA10, and nearby Grays, Gravesend and Longfield. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Swanscombe?

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Swanscombe?

Building control for Swanscombe 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.

Can I keep my bathroom layout to save money?

Yes. Keeping the WC on the same soil stack position and the bath or shower where it is now usually saves several hundred pounds in plumbing. A fitted furniture run can still change the look of the room completely without moving the main fittings.
