Working in Muswell Hill
In Muswell Hill we cover N2, N8 and N10; we also cover Wood Green, 1.3 miles away, and Archway.
In Muswell Hill, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Muswell Hill, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. If the bath in your Muswell Hill home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Muswell Hill is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
Decisions to make first
How much to re-tile
Re-tile just the shower walls, or take the chance to re-tile the whole room so new and old tiles never have to match.
Mixer or electric shower
A thermostatic mixer draws on your hot-water system. An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows and needs its own circuit.
Rules that apply in England
In England, adding an electric shower usually means a new circuit, which is notifiable under Part P, as is any change to the wiring in the bathroom. Where the conversion is an adaptation for a disabled person, a Disabled Facilities Grant of up to £30,000 may help, but the council must approve it before work starts.
