London homes in Kilburn often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If your Kilburn home is older and the bathroom still has original pipework or plaster behind the tiles, the survey shows whether a renovation or a refit makes more sense. For listed and period properties in Kilburn, 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
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
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

Combining rooms

Taking out the wall between a bathroom and a separate WC gives one larger room, but it is structural work and may need building control.

Shower floor

With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.

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.

More about bathroom renovation

Bathroom renovation in Kilburn: questions

How much should I budget for a bathroom renovation in Kilburn?

A bathroom renovation in Kilburn usually costs £9,400–£18,750 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Who handles building control for a bathroom renovation in Kilburn?

Building control for Kilburn 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 a bathroom renovation take?

Allow 8–15 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 Kilburn.

Is the home survey in Kilburn 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.

Should I renovate the bathroom before or after other building work?

If you are also rewiring, replacing the boiler or replumbing the house, do the bathroom at the same time as those works or straight after their first fix. New pipes and cables are then run once, and fresh tiles are not disturbed later.
