Working in Folkestone

We cover every part of Folkestone, including CT19 and CT20, and nearby Dover (7 miles) and Ashford (13.5 miles).

Homes in and around Folkestone vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a period house in Folkestone with high ceilings, we plan the lighting and tile heights to suit the proportions of the room. We plan luxury bathrooms in Folkestone with drawings and a full product schedule, and the price is fixed in writing once the design is agreed.

Most of Kent has very 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

Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
A full snag check, sealing of stone where needed, and a handover of manuals and isolation points
Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it

Decisions to make first

Shower system

A concealed thermostatic valve with a ceiling head and handset is the usual choice. A digital valve sets the temperature from a wall panel, and a steam enclosure needs its own generator and supply.

Wall and floor finish

Large-format porcelain gives a stone look with little upkeep. Natural stone and microcement are beautiful but need sealing and care, especially in hard-water areas.

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 Folkestone: questions

How much should I budget for a luxury bathroom in Folkestone?

A luxury bathroom in Folkestone usually costs £13,500–£28,000 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Who handles building control for a luxury bathroom in Folkestone?

Building control for Folkestone 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 luxury bathroom take?

Allow 10–15 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 Folkestone.

Is the home survey in Folkestone 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.

Microcement or tiles in a luxury bathroom?

Microcement gives a seamless finish with no grout lines, but it must go on a stable, well-prepared base and be properly sealed. Large-format porcelain gives a similarly clean look, is harder-wearing and is easier to repair if something is dropped on it. We price both if you are undecided.
