Moving a Bathroom to a New Room in Tunstall
Full bathroom installations, project-managed by one local team.
Moving a bathroom is a bigger job than replacing one. In a Tunstall 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.
We've fitted bathroom fitting in Tunstall long enough to know the houses inside out.

Bathroom Relocation Service FAQs — Tunstall
- Do I need Building Regs to move a bathroom in Tunstall?
- Yes, notifiable work applies — new drainage runs, structural notching and ventilation all need to be signed off. We handle notification on Tunstall projects.
- How far can a WC waste run?
- Effectively 6m at 1:80 fall for a 100mm waste with proper venting on a Tunstall 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 Tunstall relocations.
- How long does a bathroom move take?
- Typically 12–18 working days across the two rooms on a Tunstall project, running strip-out on room A while new services go in room B.
- Are you fully insured for work in Tunstall?
- Yes — we hold full public liability cover and every job in Tunstall comes with a written workmanship guarantee.
- Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Tunstall home liveable while the work runs.
