Steam Room & Sauna in Brighton and Hove
Steam room and sauna installation covers building a bespoke steam or sauna enclosure within a property — including waterproofing, ventilation, seating and either a steam generator (for a steam room) or a sauna heater — designed around the specific space and specification rather than supplied as an off-the-shelf unit.
In Brighton and Hove, that covers Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade. Brighton and Hove is known for its Regency architecture, extensive Victorian terraced housing, and later 20th-century development, all within a compact coastal city where many properties are in conservation areas and a significant number are listed.

Property styles in Brighton and Hove
Regency squares and terraces are concentrated around Brunswick, Kemp Town and the seafront, with dense Victorian terraced housing across much of the wider city, and later suburban housing further from the centre. Basement conversions, loft conversions and rear extensions are common project types on the terraced stock, subject to conservation area and party wall considerations.
Planning considerations
Brighton & Hove City Council is the local planning authority. The city has one of the highest concentrations of conservation areas of any local authority in the South East, and many properties are listed, particularly in the Regency squares. Basement work also requires careful consideration of structural and drainage issues in a dense urban setting.

FAQs
Steam Room & Sauna in Brighton and Hove: FAQs
Do you provide steam room & sauna across all of Brighton and Hove?
Yes, we cover the BN1, BN2 and BN3 postcode areas in full, including Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade.
What's the difference between a steam room and a sauna?
A steam room uses wet heat from a steam generator at high humidity and needs full waterproofing, while a sauna uses dry heat from an electric or wood-burning heater and needs suitable timber cladding and ventilation rather than tanking. Which suits you depends on personal preference and the space available.
Can a steam room be added to an existing bathroom or wet room?
Yes, this is a common way to incorporate one, provided there's enough space for the enclosure, generator and ventilation — we assess feasibility as part of the design consultation.
Can I extend a listed Regency property in Brighton?
Alterations to listed buildings require listed building consent in addition to any planning permission, and the historic character of Regency terraces means proposals are considered carefully. We assess feasibility on a case-by-case basis.
