Working in Muswell Hill
In Muswell Hill we cover N2, N8 and N10; we also cover Wood Green, 1.3 miles away, and Archway.
London homes in Muswell Hill often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. In Muswell Hill flats, the lease and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent. If you have just bought a house in Muswell Hill, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust.
Water across much of Greater London is 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
- Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
- A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
- Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
Decisions to make first
Heating
Moving the radiator, adding a heated towel rail or laying underfloor heating is simpler while the room is stripped.
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.
