Leaseholder permissions

Design-led bathrooms for Hove's period homes — Regency terraces, Victorian villas and mansion-block flats. Considered design, bespoke joinery and a finish detailed to a high standard.
Hove rewards a careful eye. As Brighton's more genteel, design-conscious neighbour along the coast, it carries some of the finest period architecture on the south coast — the elegant Regency frontages of Brunswick Town and Brunswick Square, the sweeping curves of Adelaide Crescent and Palmeira Square, and the substantial Victorian and Edwardian villas of the Avenues. Bathrooms in these homes deserve to be treated as part of the architecture, not bolted onto it.
We approach a Hove project as a design exercise first and a fit second. Generous Regency and Victorian proportions invite a more considered material palette — honed stone, large-format porcelain, brushed or aged-brass fittings — and bespoke vanities scaled to the room rather than ordered from a catalogue. The result should feel as though it has always belonged there. If you would like to picture it before any work begins, our full bathroom installation service starts with a proper design conversation, and you can visualise finishes with our 3D concept generator.
Much of Hove's housing is leasehold — period flat conversions and purpose-built mansion blocks around Palmeira, Church Road and the seafront — which adds a layer most fitters overlook. Work above or below neighbours brings real obligations, and getting them right protects you, your lease and your relationship with the building.
We handle that side properly: confirming what your lease and freeholder permit, liaising with managing agents where consent or notice is required, and detailing acoustic and waterproofing build-ups so sound and water are contained between floors. Tanking, decoupling and considered isolation are planned in from the outset, not improvised on site.

Acoustic underlays and fully tanked, decoupled build-ups so nothing carries — or leaks — to the flat below.
Coordinating access, working hours, protection of communal areas and notice periods in shared buildings.
Routing services sympathetically through older floor structures and around original features.
Design-led bathrooms that respect the period homes they live in.
The tall, light rooms typical of Hove's period stock are a gift, but they ask for the right decisions. High walls suit large-format tiling and full-height stonework that would feel overscaled elsewhere, and original cornicing, sash windows and picture rails are best worked with rather than around. We set out tiling so joints land cleanly against existing lines, and we protect and reinstate period detail rather than losing it behind a modern lining.
Front-facing properties along the seafront and Hove lawns also live with salt air, so ventilation and corrosion-resistant fittings matter more here than inland. We specify extraction and finishes that hold up to a coastal climate, which is the same thinking we bring to projects in nearby Brighton. For tiling and stone in particular, our tiling and stonework service covers setting-out, large-format slabs and natural stone with flawless alignment.
Many Hove villas already hold high-spec bathrooms that simply want bringing back to their best or sympathetically updating. We are as comfortable restoring and refreshing an existing high-end room as building one from scratch — a bathroom renovation that respects what is already good and lifts the rest.
A premium fit-out is a coordination job. Bespoke joinery, stonework, fittings, glazing and decoration all have to land in the right order and to the right tolerances, which is why we keep it under one team and detail it carefully from the start — planned properly, fitted cleanly, finished with care. Whether you want a generous main bathroom, a discreet ensuite or cloakroom, or a level-access wet room, we manage it as a single, considered project. We are based along the coast in Worthing and work across the West Sussex coast and into Hove and Brighton.
Yes. For Hove projects we start with design — proportions, layout and a material palette suited to the room and the period — before any installation begins. You get a considered scheme, not a catalogue suite dropped into a beautiful space.
It depends on your lease, but flat work usually needs the freeholder's or managing agent's consent, and sometimes formal notice. We help establish what's required, then build in acoustic underlays and fully tanked, decoupled floors so sound and water are properly contained between dwellings.
Yes. We design and fit bespoke vanities and joinery scaled to the room and its proportions, so the furniture sits comfortably with original features rather than fighting them.
We use the height — large-format tiling and full-height stonework read well on tall walls — while protecting and reinstating cornicing, sash windows and other period detail. Tiling is set out so joints align cleanly with the existing architecture.
We do. We coordinate access, working hours, protection of communal areas and any consent or notice periods directly with managing agents and freeholders, so the building's requirements are met throughout.
It depends entirely on specification — the size of the room, the finishes, bespoke joinery and stonework, and the logistics of the building. We provide a clear, fixed quotation after a no-obligation visit, so there are no surprises. Get in touch to arrange one.
