As a guide, budget £2,200 to £5,600 including VAT for a cloakroom or downstairs WC in Camden Town; your written quote will pin it down. Prices in London run at about 25% above the national guide, mainly because of labour rates. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Camden Town
As well as Camden Town itself (EC1N, NW1, NW3 and 14 more postcode districts), we survey in Holloway, Islington and Archway.
In Camden Town, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Camden Town cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly. We survey cloakrooms in Camden Town with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly.
Supplies across most of Greater London are very hard. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
Decisions to make first
WC style
A wall-hung WC on a frame gives the most floor space and looks neat. A back-to-wall pan in a short furniture unit is easier to fit against an uneven wall.
Finishes
A small room can carry a bolder tile or wallpaper. A feature wall behind the WC costs far less here than in a full bathroom because there is so little of it.
Rules that apply in England
In England, a new WC connected to the soil stack or drain is drainage work under Part H, and a newly formed cloakroom without an opening window should have mechanical extract; Approved Document F gives 6 litres per second as the design rate for a WC, against 15 for a bathroom. Because a cloakroom has no bath or shower, adding a light to an existing circuit is not notifiable under Part P, but a new circuit is.
