Not for renewing a bathroom inside your existing home. You do need an omgevingsvergunning (environmental permit) once you touch the load-bearing structure, for example by removing a supporting wall, or if you alter the facade for a window or ventilation. If you live in an apartment you will almost always also need permission from the VvE, the owners association. We check this before we start.

Dutch building regulations require a bathroom to have mechanical extraction of at least 14 dm³ per second, which is just over 50 m³ per hour. A window on its own is not enough. We fit an extractor sized for the room and make sure air can get in, usually through a gap under the door. Without that inlet, an extractor moves almost nothing.

In homes built before 1990, almost always. Galvanised steel pipes silt up from the inside, which is why your water pressure drops, and older properties can still have lead. Since the walls are open anyway during a renovation, this is the moment to replace everything with plastic or copper. Doing it later means demolishing new tiling.

Usually yes. The dividing wall between a bathroom and toilet is rarely load-bearing, and in 1930s and 1950s Dutch houses combining them frees up a lot of space. What decides it is the position of the soil stack: waste runs on gravity and needs roughly one centimetre of fall per metre. The further the toilet moves from that stack, the more floor height you lose.

With ventilation, not with cleaning. Mould grows because moisture lingers, and the only real fix is removing that moisture. That means mechanical extraction sized for the room, an air inlet under the door, and ideally a humidity sensor or run-on timer. Proper waterproofing of the floor-to-wall joints does the rest.

Yes, and it is the most requested option in our bathroom renovations. A level-access shower needs a fall in the floor towards a drain or channel, fully waterproofed floor and joints, and enough build-up height for the waste. In apartments that height is sometimes tight, in which case we look at a slim channel along the wall. Budget roughly € 1,200 to € 2,000 for the walk-in shower itself.

Yes. Your quote, planning and all site communication are in English, and you deal with one point of contact throughout. Where Dutch documents are unavoidable, such as a permit application or a VvE decision, we translate what it says and what it means for your project.
