Bathroom renovations in Richmond

Consult Richmond’s house-extension and external-alteration guide.

Identify the bathroom's proposed position and any external ventilation or window change. Keep these in the Richmond design brief alongside preparation and fitting, with the wider project stated clearly.

Divide the proposal into changes inside the rooms and changes visible outside the building. A kitchen rearrangement may also propose a new garden opening; bathroom work may include a different window or ventilation outlet. Record both without assuming the external element is incidental or already agreed. Use a room schedule to identify retained features and known repairs, and attach relevant photographs to the correct room. In Richmond, the external-alteration guide is useful context for applicable work, while the internal structure and services still require their own assessment. This division helps compare quotes on the actual scope. It also keeps product purchases from driving an unresolved opening or layout decision simply because an item has already been ordered.

Confirm the council using the property postcode and give the designer any relevant map or decision reference. A named area is a starting point for checking this address, not an assessment of the whole town. Treat sketches and examples as discussion material until the property-specific work has been reviewed.

Our team offers practical guidance on layouts and finishes. Formal drawings and planning work are arranged and coordinated through the design partner. Practical guidance is not the production of architectural drawings; agree the professional scope and fees for your proposal.

Falcon supplies agreed first-fix materials and carries out the agreed building and fitting work. You buy agreed second-fix items, such as kitchen units, bathroom fittings and flooring, with guidance. The quote should say who supplies and fits each item, and how changes will be agreed.

Keep product choices and required delivery dates with the scope. Confirm dimensions and compatibility before buying items that affect preparation or services. If a choice changes, ask how that affects the agreed work before treating it as a like-for-like replacement.

The cost depends on the assessed scope, existing condition, design and chosen specification. Compare Falcon’s contract price with your total project spend: add homeowner purchases and any professional, application or other fees outside the building quote. Ask for the VAT treatment and exclusions to be explicit.

Time on site is only one part of the programme. Keep design work, property checks and approvals, lead time, procurement and construction separate when discussing dates. Explain any move, school or household commitments as requirements to discuss, not a start or completion date already agreed.

New Malden · Falcon fitted shower room within a wider project. This room photograph does not establish a whole-house refurbishment.

Use the linked gallery to discuss the visible room connections, workmanship and finish choices. Your project needs its own agreed layout, scope and specification; the photograph carries no promise about a price, programme or result.

Include your actual property postcode and describe the existing bathroom photographs, desired layout, known problems and the wider renovation plans. In the Richmond brief, distinguish facts you know from ideas you want assessed. Keep internal changes distinguished from external work with the drawings, and identify any decisions already made so their effect on the connected work can be discussed.

Say which drawings or decisions already exist and what still needs to be explored. Include the wider project if several services are involved. The enquiry form keeps the page you came from and lets you choose the project type that best describes your current plans.
