Working in Walthamstow

We work right across Walthamstow — E4, E10, E11 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Leytonstone and Tottenham.

London homes in Walthamstow often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If you have just bought a house in Walthamstow, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust. If your Walthamstow 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.

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

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
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.

Is the home survey in Walthamstow 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.

Do you cover E4 in Walthamstow?

Yes. We cover all of Walthamstow, including E4, E10, E11 and E17, and nearby Leytonstone, Tottenham and Stamford Hill. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
