Working in Putney

We cover every part of Putney, including SW6, SW15 and SW18, and nearby Fulham (1.6 miles) and Wimbledon (2.7 miles).

In Putney, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. In Putney flats, the lease and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent. A renovation survey in Putney looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper.

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
New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician

Decisions to make first

Shower floor

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

Heating

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

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 Putney?

Who handles building control for a bathroom renovation in Putney?

Building control for Putney 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.

Can I live in the house during a bathroom renovation?

Yes, most people do. Expect dust, noise and the water to be off for short spells, and plan for no bath or shower in that room for two to three weeks. If it is your only toilet, talk to us at the survey about keeping a WC working for as much of the job as possible.
