For a typical home, plan for 1–2 weeks per bathroom, though larger or more complex jobs take longer.

Homes in Herefordshire
Herefordshire is known for black-and-white timber-framed buildings, especially in villages around Weobley, Pembridge and Eardisland. Old Red Sandstone is used widely in churches, farmhouses and walls, Hereford has Victorian terraces and interwar suburbs, and market towns such as Leominster, Ledbury and Ross-on-Wye mix historic centres with newer estates.
A mild, rural county with frost-prone valleys; the Wye and Lugg flood regularly, so ground levels and drainage matter for outdoor work.
So when we survey a Leominster property for a new bathroom, the first step is working out how it was built and what has been changed since.
Planning and building rules in Leominster
Leominster is in England, so the planning and building rules set out below are the ones that apply. We confirm the details with the council before we quote.
Internal work such as a new kitchen, bathroom, flooring, plastering or decorating does not need planning permission in England, unless the house is listed, when listed building consent may be needed even for internal changes.
Some internal work is covered by Building Regulations: new electrical circuits and work in bathrooms (Part P), new drainage, structural changes, extractor ventilation and any new window. Notifiable work is certified by a registered installer or by building control.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
How does the job run?
Free site survey
We arrange a free site survey on a date convenient to you. We measure up, look at the existing structure and access, and discuss your plans for a new bathroom so the price reflects your home.
Written quote
You get the price in writing, itemised so you can see where the money goes. As long as the specification stays the same, that is the price you pay for a new bathroom.
Plan and prepare
Before anyone starts, we confirm the programme in writing, check whether consents are required and arrange deliveries. If a skip or scaffolding on the road needs a permit, we apply for it.
Finish and handover
On site, the agreed plan is followed and any change is put in writing first. At completion we do a final clean, go through the snagging list with you and leave you with the relevant documents.
Why homeowners choose us
Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission in Leominster?
It depends on the work, the size of the project, your property type and whether the building is listed or in a conservation area. Leominster is in England, so England's rules apply. Many smaller jobs need no planning application, but some still need building control approval. We check what applies to your address before quoting.
Is a wet room right for my home?
A wet room is a fully waterproofed room with a shower area that drains through the floor, with no tray or step. It suits accessible bathrooms and modern designs, and makes cleaning easy. It needs a floor with enough depth for a gentle fall to the drain, and careful tanking of the whole room. Timber floors often need strengthening. We check suitability at the survey.
Do you cover Hereford, Ledbury and Great Malvern?
Yes. As well as Leominster, we cover Hereford, Ledbury and Great Malvern and the rest of Herefordshire. Our coverage is UK-wide, so the process is the same wherever you are: a free site survey, a quote in writing that fixes the price for the agreed scope, and one point of contact while the work is planned and carried out.
Will I have to go without a bathroom?
If it is your only bathroom, you will usually be without a shower or bath for most of the fitting time. We aim to keep the toilet working overnight wherever possible, refitting it temporarily at the end of each day during strip-out and first fix. If you have a second bathroom or downstairs toilet, the disruption is much easier. We plan the sequence with you before starting.
Do I need a new boiler for a new shower?
You do not always need a new boiler for a new shower, but your hot water system decides what kind of shower will work well. Combi boilers suit mixer showers directly from the mains. Tank-fed systems may need a pump for good pressure, and electric showers heat their own water. We check your boiler, cylinder and water pressure during the survey and recommend a shower to match.
