What does a bathroom renovation include?

Our bathroom renovations in Hemel Hempstead cover the building side of the job from start to finish:

  • Stripping out the old bathroom and making good
  • Moving or building stud walls, and boxing in pipework
  • Preparing walls and floors for tiles
  • Fitting the bathroom suite and furniture
  • Plastering, doors, skirting and decorating

Bathroom renovations are often part of a bigger project. Customers have had us build new shower rooms in extensions and refit bathrooms as part of modernising the whole house.

Do bathroom renovations need Building Regulations approval?

A like-for-like refit usually doesn't. New work does have to meet the rules: a bathroom needs mechanical extract ventilation (Building Regulations guidance is 15 litres per second for intermittent extraction), new electrical work in a bathroom must comply with Part P and be certified, and new drainage must comply. See Approved Document F (ventilation) and Approved Document P (electrical safety).

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

It depends on the size of the room, whether walls or pipework move, and the finishes you choose. We agree a timetable before work starts and plan the job so you're without a bathroom for as short a time as possible.

Bathroom renovations in Hemel Hempstead: frequently asked questions

Do I need planning permission for a new bathroom?

No. An internal bathroom refit doesn't need planning permission. If the bathroom is part of an extension or loft conversion, that work may need it.

Does a bathroom need an extractor fan?

Yes, a new or refitted bathroom should have mechanical extract ventilation. Building Regulations guidance is 15 litres per second for an intermittent fan.

Can you add a shower room in an extension or loft?

Yes. We build shower rooms as part of extensions and loft conversions, planning the drainage and ventilation as part of the design.

Can you renovate a bathroom as part of a bigger project?

Yes. Many of our bathroom renovations are part of a wider project, such as an extension or modernising the whole house, so one team handles everything.

How much does a bathroom renovation cost?

It depends on the size of the room, any layout changes and the suite and finishes you choose. We give a free, itemised written quote after a visit.
