Working in Catford

We work right across Catford — SE4, SE6 and SE13 — and in neighbouring Blackheath and Greenwich.

London homes in Catford often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If you have young children at home in Catford, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage. Whether your Catford bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide.

Supplies across most of Greater London are very hard. 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

Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling

Decisions to make first

Storage

A vanity under the basin, a tall unit or a mirror cabinet. High-level or lockable storage keeps medicines and cleaning products out of reach of small children.

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.

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.

More about family bathrooms

Family bathrooms in Catford: questions

How much does a family bathroom cost in Catford?

A family bathroom in Catford usually costs £7,500–£13,750 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Catford?

Building control for Catford 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.

How long does a family bathroom take?

Allow 6–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Catford.

Is the home survey in Catford 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.

How do I make a family bathroom safe for young children?

Fit thermostatic valves so the shower cannot run scalding, choose a slip-resistant floor, and keep medicines and cleaning products in high or lockable storage. Soft-close toilet seats save small fingers, and any shower screen should be toughened safety glass, which good screens are as standard.
