Working in Welling

As well as Welling itself (DA6, DA15 and DA16), we survey in Bexley, Eltham and Thamesmead.

London homes in Welling often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. In Welling flats, the lease and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent. If you have just bought a house in Welling, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust.

Water across much of Greater London is 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

New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.
