Working in Islington
In Islington we cover EC1, EC1A, EC1M and 9 more postcode districts; we also cover Archway, 2.5 miles away, and Tottenham.
London homes in Islington 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 Islington bathroom, we show you both options before you decide. Whether your Islington bathroom is a compact box room or a larger main bathroom, the layout starts from measurements taken on site.
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
- Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
- Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
- 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
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.
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.
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.
