Bathroom fitting in Kingswinford: approvals and local details

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Kingswinford? Check with Dudley Council before changing the outside of your home. Otherwise the main rules for your new bathroom are Building Regulations, and we'll explain at the survey which certificates you'll receive.

Tile adhesive and grout need time to cure before the shower is used, so allow for it in the programme.
Where there's no openable window, the fan should run on for around 15 minutes after the light goes off.
Combi boilers and unvented cylinders usually support a good mixer shower without a pump.

Which options suit homes in Kingswinford?

Layout change

Moving the toilet, bath or shower can make a small bathroom work much better. The toilet is the hardest to move because its large waste pipe needs a direct route and fall to the soil stack. Water supplies and smaller wastes are easier to reroute, especially under timber floors, where joists can be drilled within safe limits.

Bath with shower over

Still the most practical layout for many family bathrooms, especially with young children. A shower over the bath needs a fixed glass screen, a well-sealed bath and tiling or panelling to full height. Choosing between a mixer shower and an electric shower depends on your boiler and water pressure, which we test at the survey.

Your questions answered

How do I get ready for the bathroom fitters?

Clear the bathroom completely, including the cabinets and the airing cupboard if it's in the room. Make space on the landing or in a spare room for deliveries. Decide on things like towel radiator size and mirror position before first fix, because cables and pipes are placed early. Let us know about parking and access for the skip or waste.

How do I book a survey in Kingswinford?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your new bathroom and arrange a time to visit.

Should I choose a mixer shower or an electric shower?

It depends on your hot water system and water pressure. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder usually gives a good mixer shower. Low-pressure gravity systems may need a pump, or an electric shower may be simpler, though that needs a dedicated circuit, which is notifiable work. We test pressure and flow at the survey and recommend what will actually perform.

Does Dudley Council need to approve my new bathroom?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Kingswinford is provided by Dudley Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
