The brief

A bathroom is designed as a room, with layout, drainage, structure, ventilation and finishes resolved as a single piece of work.

Approach

The studio considers how the room is used, where daylight and privacy fall, and how services can be routed without compromising the structure of the house. Layout and specification are agreed before installation begins, so that the finished room reflects the design rather than on-site improvisation.

Planning and regulation

Bathroom work rarely requires planning permission, but new drainage, ventilation and electrical work fall under Building Regulations. In listed buildings, consent may be required for internal alterations.

Delivery

Drawings, specification and coordination with the installer are prepared by the studio, with site oversight where required.

Fees

Fees are fixed for each stage and confirmed in writing once the scope is agreed. Construction cost depends on the site, the specification and the procurement route, and is established through an indicative cost plan at feasibility stage.

Frequently asked questions

Is a designer required for a bathroom renovation? +
Only if the layout is changing — moving the bathroom, combining rooms, relocating drainage. For a like-for-like refit (new tiles, fittings, sanitaryware in the same positions), a bathroom fitter is enough.
How are fees and construction costs established? +
Fees are fixed for each stage and confirmed in writing once the scope is agreed. Construction cost depends on the site, the specification and the procurement route, and is established through an indicative cost plan at feasibility stage.
Is Building Regulations approval required for a bathroom? +
Only if you are making structural changes (removing walls, altering joists) or significantly changing the drainage layout. A like-for-like refit does not need Building Regulations approval.
