Moving a Bathroom to a New Room in Hanley
Full bathroom installations, project-managed by one local team.
Moving a bathroom is a bigger job than replacing one. In a Hanley house you're re-planning the soil route, likely strengthening joists under a new tray or bath, and rebuilding the sub-floor of the room the bathroom is leaving as well as the one it's arriving in.
We plan the whole thing — new stack tie-in, waste falls, joist doublings, ventilation route — before the first board comes off, so the sequence runs cleanly and the notifiable work goes through Building Control the right way.
Bathroom Fitting in Hanley isn't a one-template job — every house we walk into reveals something different.

Bathroom Relocation Service FAQs — Hanley
- Do I need Building Regs to move a bathroom in Hanley?
- Yes, notifiable work applies — new drainage runs, structural notching and ventilation all need to be signed off. We handle notification on Hanley projects.
- How far can a WC waste run?
- Effectively 6m at 1:80 fall for a 100mm waste with proper venting on a Hanley first-floor relocation. Beyond that we look at repositioning the stack or fitting a macerator.
- Can you rebuild the old bathroom as a bedroom?
- Yes — cap and remove services, sister the joists where the old bath sat, floor over, plaster and skim. That's a full second phase on most Hanley relocations.
- How long does a bathroom move take?
- Typically 12–18 working days across the two rooms on a Hanley project, running strip-out on room A while new services go in room B.
- Do you provide a fixed-price quote before starting?
- Always. After a free home visit in Hanley we send a fully itemised, fixed-price quotation — no surprises on invoice day.
- How quickly can you start a job in Hanley?
- Lead time is usually two to five weeks from a confirmed quote, depending on the spec and our current schedule across the Staffordshire side.
