Working in Fulham

In Fulham we cover SW5, SW6 and SW10; we also cover Chelsea, 1.4 miles away, and Putney.

London homes in Fulham often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Fulham before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower. For a busy Fulham household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout.

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

Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure

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 material

Reinforced acrylic is warm to the touch and light on the floor. Steel enamel is harder-wearing and feels more solid, but it draws heat from the water faster.

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 Fulham: questions

How much should I budget for a family bathroom in Fulham?

A family bathroom in Fulham 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.

Is the water hard in Fulham?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Fulham?

Building control for Fulham 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 Fulham.

What is the most hard-wearing floor for a family bathroom?

Porcelain tiles are the most hard-wearing floor for a family bathroom: they do not absorb water and are hard to scratch. Choose a matt or textured finish so wet feet do not slip. Luxury vinyl tile is warmer underfoot and costs less, but it can be dented and needs a perfectly flat subfloor.
