Working in Streatham

In Streatham we cover SE27, SW12 and SW16; we also cover Mitcham, 2.4 miles away, and Brixton.

London homes in Streatham often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If your Streatham 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. In Streatham flats, the lease and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent.

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

Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns

Decisions to make first

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.

How far back to strip

Back to brick gives a clean start. Keeping sound plaster on some walls saves time and money, and the survey shows which walls can stay.

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.
