Working in Muswell Hill

We cover every part of Muswell Hill, including N2, N8 and N10, and nearby Wood Green (1.3 miles) and Archway (1.6 miles).

In Muswell Hill, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Muswell Hill home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue. If your Muswell Hill en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit.

Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Muswell Hill 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

IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls

Decisions to make first

Noise

Acoustic insulation in the stud walls and a quiet fan make a real difference when one of you showers early while the other is still asleep.

Night lighting

A mirror light or low-level LED strip on its own switch lets you use the en-suite at night without the full glare of the ceiling lights.

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.

More about en-suites

En-suites in Muswell Hill: questions

How much should I budget for an en-suite in Muswell Hill?

An en-suite in Muswell Hill usually costs £5,600–£11,250 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

How long does an en-suite take?

Is the home survey in Muswell Hill 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 N2 in Muswell Hill?

Yes. We cover all of Muswell Hill, including N2, N8 and N10, and nearby Wood Green, Archway and Finchley. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you put an en-suite anywhere?

Almost anywhere the waste can reach the soil stack. Gravity drainage needs a steady fall in the pipe, so the further the en-suite is from the stack, the more depth you need under the floor or behind boxing. Where that is not possible, a pumped waste or macerator can be used if the home already has a WC on gravity drainage. Our guide to adding an en-suite covers this in more detail.
