Working in Eltham
In Eltham we cover SE2, SE9, SE18 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Blackheath, 2.1 miles away, and Welling.
London homes in Eltham often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Eltham bathroom, we show you both options before you decide. For homes in Eltham where the bathroom is the only one, we plan the work so the toilet is out of action for as short a time as possible.
Water across much of Greater London is 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
- A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation
- Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
- Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
- Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories
Decisions to make first
Heating
A heated towel rail is standard. Electric underfloor heating under the tiles makes the room comfortable and dries the floor quickly.
Tiling height
Tiling just the wet areas keeps the cost down. Full-height tiling looks better and is easier to wipe clean.
Rules that apply in England
In England, new circuits and most electrical changes in a bathroom are notifiable under Part P, so they must be done by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or notified to building control. If you are adding a new extractor fan, Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second as the usual intermittent extract rate.
