Working in Poole
As well as Poole itself (BH12, BH13, BH14 and 3 more postcode districts), we survey in Bournemouth, Ferndown and Christchurch.
Poole 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 nobody in your Poole home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare. If your Poole bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit.
Supplies across most of Dorset are 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
- Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
- A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
- Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
- Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
Decisions to make first
Keep the bath or go walk-in
A 1500 or 1600 mm bath keeps a bath in a short room. A walk-in shower with a single glass panel opens up the floor and makes the room read as larger.
Storage
Recess shelves into stud walls or boxing, put a mirror cabinet over the basin and use the wall above the WC. Avoid floor-standing units in very tight rooms.
Rules that apply in England
In England, changes to the wiring in a room with a bath or shower are notifiable under Part P, so use an electrician registered with a competent person scheme. If you replace the extractor fan, do not fit one that extracts less than the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second for an intermittent bathroom fan.
