Working in South Croydon

In South Croydon we cover CR0, CR2 and CR9; we also cover Croydon, 1.5 miles away, and Purley.

In South Croydon, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your South Croydon home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting. For South Croydon bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is.

Supplies across most of Greater London are 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

Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing

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.

Who buys the materials

Adhesive, grout, boards, tanking, wastes and fixings can come from you or from us. The quote says which, so nothing is assumed.

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 South Croydon: questions

How much should I budget for bathroom fitting in South Croydon?

Bathroom fitting in South Croydon usually costs £2,800–£7,500 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Who handles building control for bathroom fitting in South Croydon?

Building control for South Croydon 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 South Croydon.

Is the home survey in South Croydon 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.
