Working in Brixton

As well as Brixton itself (SE5, SE24 and SW9), we survey in Peckham, Battersea and Streatham.

London homes in Brixton often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. Landlords with flats or houses in Brixton can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies. For Brixton bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is.

Water across much of Greater London is very hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing

Decisions to make first

Making good

Decide whether you want the quote to cover making good and decorating, or to stop at the tiles so you can paint yourself.

Fit-only or supply and fit

Fit-only lets you choose and buy every product yourself; supply and fit puts sourcing, deliveries and returns on us, with one price for everything.

Rules that apply in England

In England, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 apply to the products you supply as well as to the installation. Electrical changes such as new lights or a fan are notifiable under Part P and are done by a registered electrician or notified to building control. New drainage or a new connection to the soil stack can be Part H work.

More about bathroom fitting

Bathroom fitting in Brixton: questions

How much should I budget for bathroom fitting in Brixton?

Bathroom fitting in Brixton usually costs £2,800–£7,500 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Who handles building control for bathroom fitting in Brixton?

Building control for Brixton is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does bathroom fitting take?

Allow 4–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Brixton.

Is the home survey in Brixton really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

What should I have ready before the fitter arrives?

Have every product delivered, opened enough to check, and stored somewhere dry near the bathroom. Clear the room and the route to it, and expect the water and toilet to be off at times. If this is your only bathroom, plan where you will wash on the days the shower is out of use.
