Working in Streatham

As well as Streatham itself (SE27, SW12 and SW16), we survey in Mitcham, Brixton and Wimbledon.

London homes in Streatham often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. For an en-suite in Streatham, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack. We quote new en-suites in Streatham only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs.

Water across much of Greater London is very hard. If your supply in Streatham 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
A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage

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.

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.

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 Streatham: questions

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

An en-suite in Streatham 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.

Is the home survey in Streatham 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 SE27 in Streatham?

Yes. We cover all of Streatham, including SE27, SW12 and SW16, and nearby Mitcham, Brixton and Wimbledon. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Streatham?

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.
