Working in Bournemouth

As well as Bournemouth itself (BH1, BH2, BH3 and 8 more postcode districts), we survey in Poole, Ferndown and Wimborne Minster.

Bournemouth has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Bournemouth home has a larger main bathroom, a freestanding bath with a separate walk-in shower is usually where the design starts. For a period house in Bournemouth with high ceilings, we plan the lighting and tile heights to suit the proportions of the room.

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

A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow
Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
A full snag check, sealing of stone where needed, and a handover of manuals and isolation points
Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

Brassware finish

Chrome is the easiest to keep clean. Brushed brass, nickel and matt black look striking but show limescale marks unless they are wiped down.

Heating

Underfloor heating under stone or porcelain makes the room comfortable all year; pair it with a towel rail for drying.

Rules that apply in England

In England, the new circuits a luxury bathroom often needs, for underfloor heating, a steam unit or a digital shower, are notifiable under Part P. An unvented hot-water cylinder, often fitted to feed a large shower, must be installed by a G3-qualified installer, and any work on the boiler must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

More about luxury bathrooms

Luxury bathrooms in Bournemouth: questions

What is the price of a luxury bathroom in Bournemouth?

A luxury bathroom in Bournemouth usually costs £12,250–£25,500 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Do you cover BH1 in Bournemouth?

Is the water hard in Bournemouth?

Who handles building control for a luxury bathroom in Bournemouth?

Building control for Bournemouth 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 my floor take a freestanding bath?

Most floors can take an acrylic freestanding bath, but stone-resin and cast-iron baths are far heavier, and the weight sits on a small area. We check the joist size, span and condition at the survey; strengthening a timber floor or spreading the load is sometimes needed, and it is planned before the bath is ordered.
