Working in Mitcham

We work right across Mitcham — CR4, SM4 and SW17 — and in neighbouring Morden and Wimbledon.

London homes in Mitcham often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If you have just bought a house in Mitcham, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust. If your Mitcham 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.

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

New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns

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.

Plaster or boards

Plaster suits dry walls that will be painted. Cement-based tile backer boards are the better base behind showers and under heavy tiles.

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.

Is the water hard in Mitcham?

What problems are found when a bathroom is stripped out?

The usual ones are rotten floorboards or joists around the WC and bath, old lead or corroded pipework, joists notched too deeply for pipes, plaster that has come away from the wall and circuits without RCD protection. In homes built before 2000, asbestos can turn up in textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids or boxing panels.
