Working in Highbury

We cover every part of Highbury, including N1, N5 and N7, and nearby Islington (1 miles) and Holloway (1.1 miles).

In Highbury, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. Fit-only work in Highbury is quoted the same way as supply and fit: an itemised written quote after a survey of the room. Landlords with flats or houses in Highbury can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies.

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

Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked
First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us

Decisions to make first

Tiling

Some customers tile themselves or use a separate tiler. That can work, but the order of trades and who tanks the shower area must be agreed 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.

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 Highbury: questions

Is the water hard in Highbury?

Should I buy my own bathroom suite or let the fitter supply it?

Buying your own gives you full choice and can save money in a sale, but you take on deliveries, checking every box and any returns. Supply and fit puts that on the fitter and gives you one price for everything. If you are unsure, ask for both options on the same quote. See fitted bathrooms for supply and fit.
