Working in Cricklewood

We work right across Cricklewood — NW2, NW6 and NW11 — and in neighbouring Kilburn and Willesden.

London homes in Cricklewood often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If you have just bought a house in Cricklewood, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust. For listed and period properties in Cricklewood, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind.

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

Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns

Decisions to make first

How far back to strip

Back to brick gives a clean start. Keeping sound plaster on some walls saves time and money, and the survey shows which walls can stay.

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.

Can I live in the house during a bathroom renovation?
