Working in Brent

We cover every part of Brent, including HA0, HA9, NW2 and 2 more postcode districts, and nearby Harrow (2.2 miles) and Bushey (6.7 miles).

In Brent, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. Whether your Brent bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Brent before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower.

Most of Greater London has very hard water. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap

Decisions to make first

Bath shape

A standard 1700 mm bath fits most rooms. A shower bath widens at one end to give more standing room under the shower; a double-ended bath puts the waste in the middle so two children can share without one sitting on the plug.

Screen or curtain

Glass keeps water in better than a curtain and does not go mouldy at the hem. A folding or hinged screen swings out of the way when you are kneeling to bath a child.

Rules that apply in England

In England, any new circuit, or any change to the wiring in a room with a bath or shower, is notifiable under Part P. Part G limits the hot water at a new bath to 48 °C only in a new dwelling or one created by change of use; it does not apply to a replacement bath in an existing house, but a thermostatic valve is a sensible choice where children bathe.

Family bathrooms in Brent: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Brent?

A family bathroom in Brent usually costs £7,500–£13,750 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 HA0 in Brent?

Is the water hard in Brent?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Brent?

Building control for Brent 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.

Should a family bathroom have a bath?

If you have young children, yes: bathing a toddler in a shower tray is hard work. In a single-bathroom house, a bath with a good thermostatic shower over it gives you both in one footprint. If the children are older and nobody baths, a walk-in shower may suit you better; our bath or shower guide sets out the trade-offs.
