Bathrooms fail at the joints between trades, so we do not split them. The same team handles the strip out, any joist or structural work, the first fix plumbing and electrics, the tanking, the tiling and the second fix. That gives you one point of contact and one firm answerable for whether the shower tray still drains in five years.
Bathrooms in the newer housing at Horton and Manor Park
Those homes are recent by Epsom standards. In the Horton and Manor Park area, Valuation Office Agency figures for 31 March 2025 record 780 of 4,280 dwellings with a known build period as built between 2000 and 2008. That reflects the redevelopment of the former hospital sites.
In a flat, the building sets the constraints before the design does. Soil stack positions, floor build ups and acoustic layers are already fixed, and lease consent, delivery windows and waste removal are set by the managing agent rather than by the builder. We survey those before we price, so the programme we give you is one the building will allow. Moving a WC may still be possible, but it is a drainage design question first and a tiling question second.
Who owns the pipe your bathroom drains into
Thames Water owns part of it and you own the rest. Thames Water is the sewerage undertaker for Epsom and Ewell, responsible for the main sewer in the road and the lateral drains that lead to it. A drain serving one property only is the owner's responsibility. That line matters when a bathroom moves, because the new run has to reach an existing connection with the right fall.
Getting the fall right is what keeps a bathroom working. We set out the waste runs at first fix, test them before anything is boarded, and tank the wet areas before tiling rather than relying on grout to hold water back. New or altered drainage is Building Regulations work, and we coordinate the application and the inspections where the job needs them.
