Working in Eltham

In Eltham we cover SE2, SE9, SE18 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Blackheath, 2.1 miles away, and Welling.

London homes in Eltham often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. For Eltham bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is. If you have bought a suite and need it fitted in Eltham, we check the product list before booking so the job is not held up by a missing part.

Most of Greater London has very hard water. 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

Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack

Decisions to make first

Delivery timing

Having everything delivered and checked before the start date avoids a half-finished room while a missing part is sent again.

Same layout or new

Keeping the layout keeps labour in the £2,200 to £4,000 range; moving the WC, shower or basin adds pipework and days.

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.

Bathroom fitting in Eltham: questions

Is the home survey in Eltham 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.

Do you cover SE2 in Eltham?

Yes. We cover all of Eltham, including SE2, SE9, SE18 and SE28, and nearby Blackheath, Welling and Catford. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Who is responsible if a product I supplied is faulty?

If you bought the product, a fault with it is a matter for the retailer or manufacturer that sold it to you. We are responsible for our fitting work. If a fault shows up during fitting, we stop, show you, and help you describe it to the seller; fitting a replacement part can add labour, which we agree with you first.
