Working in Islington

We work right across Islington — EC1, EC1A, EC1M and 9 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Archway and Tottenham.

London homes in Islington often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. For a busy Islington household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout. Whether your Islington 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
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
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

Decisions to make first

Shower over the bath or separate

A shower over the bath with a fixed or hinged screen is the most space-efficient. A separate enclosure needs roughly another square metre of floor but means the bath queue no longer holds up the shower queue.

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.

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 Islington: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Islington?

A family bathroom in Islington 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.

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 Islington.

Is the home survey in Islington 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 EC1 in Islington?

Yes. We cover all of Islington, including EC1, EC1A, EC1M, EC1R and 8 more postcode districts, and nearby Archway, Tottenham and Walthamstow. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you fit a separate bath and shower in a family bathroom?

Usually only in a room of about 6 m² or more, which leaves space for a 1700 mm bath, a shower enclosure, a basin and a WC without the room feeling crowded. In a smaller room, a shower bath with a screen gives most of the benefit. We test both layouts against your measurements at the survey.
