Working in Oxford

We work right across Oxford — OX1, OX2, OX3 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Aylesbury and High Wycombe.

In a city the size of Oxford, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Oxford bathroom, we show you both options before you decide. For homes in Oxford where the bathroom is the only one, we plan the work so the toilet is out of action for as short a time as possible.

Water across much of Oxfordshire 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 of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories

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.

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.

How much does a fitted bathroom cost in Oxford?

A fitted bathroom in Oxford 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.

Is the water hard in Oxford?

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Oxford?

Building control for Oxford 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.

What is the difference between a fitted bathroom and a normal bathroom?

In a fitted bathroom the basin, WC and storage are built into one continuous run of furniture, with the cistern and pipes hidden behind panels and a worktop across the top. A standard bathroom uses separate pieces, such as a pedestal basin and close-coupled toilet, which leave gaps and visible pipework.
