Working in Sutton

We work right across Sutton — KT4, SM1, SM2 and 3 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Banstead and Ewell.

In Sutton, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If you have just bought a house in Sutton, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust. In Sutton 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

Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier

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.

Pipe material

Copper suits exposed runs and the area near the boiler. Plastic pipe is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.

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.

Bathroom renovation in Sutton: questions

How much should I budget for a bathroom renovation in Sutton?

A bathroom renovation in Sutton 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.

Who handles building control for a bathroom renovation in Sutton?

Building control for Sutton 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.

Should I renovate the bathroom before or after other building work?

If you are also rewiring, replacing the boiler or replumbing the house, do the bathroom at the same time as those works or straight after their first fix. New pipes and cables are then run once, and fresh tiles are not disturbed later.
