Working in Peckham

As well as Peckham itself (SE5, SE14 and SE15), we survey in Brixton, Greenwich and Catford.

In Peckham, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. A renovation survey in Peckham looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper. For listed and period properties in Peckham, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind.

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
Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician

Decisions to make first

Heating

Moving the radiator, adding a heated towel rail or laying underfloor heating is simpler while the room is stripped.

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 Peckham: questions

What is the price of a bathroom renovation in Peckham?

A bathroom renovation in Peckham usually costs £9,400–£18,750 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Who handles building control for a bathroom renovation in Peckham?

Building control for Peckham 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 Peckham.

Is the home survey in Peckham 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.

What is the difference between a bathroom refit and a renovation?

A refit replaces the visible parts, the suite, tiles and floor, and keeps the pipework, wiring and walls behind them. A renovation strips the room to its structure and replaces those hidden services too, often with a new layout. It costs more and takes longer, but it deals with problems a refit would only cover up.
