Working in Streatham

We cover every part of Streatham, including SE27, SW12 and SW16, and nearby Mitcham (2.4 miles) and Brixton (2.8 miles).

London homes in Streatham often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. For a busy Streatham household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout. If your Streatham 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.

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

Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows

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.

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 Streatham: questions

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

Is the home survey in Streatham 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 SE27 in Streatham?

Yes. We cover all of Streatham, including SE27, SW12 and SW16, and nearby Mitcham, Brixton and Wimbledon. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Streatham?

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.
