Working in Putney

We cover every part of Putney, including SW6, SW15 and SW18, and nearby Fulham (1.6 miles) and Wimbledon (2.7 miles).

London homes in Putney often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If your Putney en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit. If your Putney 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 Putney 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

A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

En-suites in Putney: questions

How much does an en-suite cost in Putney?

An en-suite in Putney usually costs £5,600–£11,250 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Do you cover SW6 in Putney?

Is the water hard in Putney?

Who handles building control for an en-suite in Putney?

Building control for Putney is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Do I need building regulations approval for an en-suite?

A new en-suite usually does, because it involves new drainage, an extractor fan and new electrical circuits. A like-for-like refit of an existing en-suite normally does not, apart from any electrical work that is notifiable where you live. We tell you which parts apply at the survey.
