Working in Eltham
We work right across Eltham — SE2, SE9, SE18 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Blackheath and Welling.
In Eltham, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. We quote new en-suites in Eltham only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs. If your Eltham home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue.
Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Eltham is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
- Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
- IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
Exposed or concealed valve
An exposed bar valve is quicker to fit and easy to service. A concealed valve looks cleaner but sits inside the wall, so plan how it will be reached for repairs.
Shower size
A 900 mm square tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. In a long, narrow room, a 1200 by 800 mm walk-in tray with one glass panel feels far more generous.
Rules that apply in England
In England, a new en-suite brings in Part H for the new connection to the soil stack, Approved Document F for ventilation, at 15 litres per second intermittent or 8 litres per second continuous extract, and Part P for the new circuits. The electrician should be registered with a competent person scheme, or the work notified to building control. On a refit, avoid replacing the fan with a less effective one.
