Working in Margate

We work right across Margate — CT8, CT9 and CT11 — and in neighbouring Broadstairs and Ramsgate.

In Margate, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Margate home has a larger main bathroom, a freestanding bath with a separate walk-in shower is usually where the design starts. If you live in a listed building in Margate, we flag any change that may need listed building consent, such as a new soil pipe through a wall.

Water across much of Kent is 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

Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
Bespoke fitted furniture, mitred tile edges and recessed niches
Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan

Decisions to make first

Heating

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

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Margate?

Who handles building control for a luxury bathroom in Margate?

Building control for Margate 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.
