Working in Canning Town
We work right across Canning Town — E13, E14 and E16 — and in neighbouring Stratford and Bow.
In Canning Town, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. For listed and period properties in Canning Town, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind. If you have just bought a house in Canning Town, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust.
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
- Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
- Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
- Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
Decisions to make first
Shower floor
With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.
Pipe material
Copper suits exposed runs and the area near the boiler. Plastic pipe is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.
Rules that apply in England
In England, structural changes, new drainage or a new connection to the soil stack under Part H, and new circuits under Part P can all be building regulations work. A registered electrician can self-certify the electrics; structural and drainage work may need a building notice or a full plans application to building control.
