Working in Peckham

We cover every part of Peckham, including SE5, SE14 and SE15, and nearby Brixton (1.7 miles) and Greenwich (2.5 miles).

In Peckham, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If you have young children at home in Peckham, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage. For a busy Peckham 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

New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
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.

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.

More about family bathrooms

Family bathrooms in Peckham: questions

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

A family bathroom in Peckham 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.

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Peckham?

Building control for Peckham 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 Peckham.

Is the home survey in Peckham 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.
