Premium bathroom renovations in Devon & Cornwall
A bathroom is a small room that touches every trade in the building. Done well, it is somewhere you genuinely enjoy starting and ending the day. Done badly, it leaks into the floor structure for years and quietly rots the joists below. We strip bathrooms back to the structure, deal with the substrate, drainage and waterproofing properly, and then build back up with the suite, tiling, vanity and lighting you actually want. Plumbing, tiling and Part P electrical work is handled by people we trust and have worked with for years.
What is involved in premium bathrooms
The single biggest cause of bathroom failure is skipped or skimped tanking. Tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own — they are decorative finishes over a waterproof membrane, and if the membrane is missing or poorly lapped, water tracks through to the timber underneath and the substrate slowly fails. We tank every wet area properly, to BS 5385, before the first tile goes on. It is invisible work that you will never see again, and it is the work that decides whether the bathroom is still working perfectly in fifteen years or has caused expensive secondary damage. Drainage is the other detail that gets cut: an extra hour spent getting falls right at the strip-out stage is repaid every day for the life of the bathroom.
Bathroom renovations do not typically require planning permission. Electrical work in bathrooms is notifiable under Part P and is certified by a registered electrician on completion. The on-site duration depends on scope — we'll give you a realistic timeline as part of your written quote.
Scope on a typical job
- Full strip-out of existing suite, tiles and any moisture-damaged sub-floor
- Replacement of structural floor boarding where required
- Drainage repositioning to suit the new layout, with correct falls
- Tanking membrane to all wet-area walls and shower floor (BS 5385)
- Large-format or feature wall tiling, with herringbone or feature inlays
- Freestanding bath, walk-in shower with thermostatic valve, rainfall head
- Bespoke or supplier-fit vanity unit with inset basin
- IP-rated downlighters, heated towel rail, backlit mirror — all in correct zones

Modern Kitchens
A new kitchen is one of the most-used rooms in the house and the project that touches the most trades — joiner, electrician, plumber, tiler, decorator, and sometimes a structural engineer if you are removing a wall. Coordinating those yourself, on top of work and family, is genuinely hard. We take the whole thing on as a single contract: strip-out, services first-fix, units, worktops, appliances and snagging. You deal with one phone number from the first site visit to the day you cook your first meal in the finished space.

Open-Plan Interiors
Open-plan living is what most modern families actually want and what most older houses were never built to provide. Turning two or three small downstairs rooms into one connected kitchen-diner-living space is a project that combines structural alteration, joinery, electrical, plumbing, plastering and finishing trades — exactly the kind of project that needs a single main contractor running it. We handle the wall removal and beam, the new floor levels, the lighting plan, the feature joinery and the final finish as a single contract.
