Working in Stratford

As well as Stratford itself (E7, E12 and E15), we survey in Bow, Canning Town and Canary Wharf.

London homes in Stratford often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If your Stratford home has just one bathroom, we plan the fit so the toilet is working again at the end of each day wherever the job allows. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Stratford 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

Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 Stratford: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Stratford?

Is the home survey in Stratford 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 E7 in Stratford?

Yes. We cover all of Stratford, including E7, E12 and E15, and nearby Bow, Canning Town and Canary Wharf. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Stratford?

Is a shower over the bath a good idea?

Yes, a shower over the bath is the most space-efficient way to have both in one room. Use a shower bath or a straight bath at least 700 mm wide, a glass screen and tiling or wall panels to full height around the bath. A common leak point is the seal between bath and wall, so the bath must be fully supported before it is sealed.
