Working in Highbury
We work right across Highbury — N1, N5 and N7 — and in neighbouring Islington and Holloway.
In Highbury, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. For homes in Highbury 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. If you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Highbury bathroom, we show you both options before you decide.
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
- A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation
- Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
- Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
- First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
Decisions to make first
Bath, shower or both
Keep a bath for children or soaking, swap it for a walk-in shower if no one uses it, or plan both if the room is big enough.
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.
