Working in Wembley

As well as Wembley itself (HA0, HA9 and UB6), we survey in Brent, Harrow and Greenford.

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

Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Wembley really free?

Do you cover HA0 in Wembley?

Yes. We cover all of Wembley, including HA0, HA9 and UB6, and nearby Brent, Harrow and Greenford. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you renovate a bathroom in a listed building?

Yes, with listed building consent where the work affects the building's character. That can include removing original features, changing internal walls or running new soil and vent pipes through walls. Consent comes from the council and must be in place before work starts, so the design allows time for it.
