Working in Camden Town

We work right across Camden Town — EC1N, NW1, NW3 and 14 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Holloway and Islington.

In Camden Town, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. We plan shower rooms in Camden Town around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly. If your second bathroom in Camden Town is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Camden Town is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall

Decisions to make first

Tray size

A 1200 by 800 mm or 1400 by 900 mm tray with a single panel makes a comfortable walk-in. Go as long as the room allows; length does more than width to keep spray inside.

Storage

With no bath, there is often space for a full-width vanity unit or a tall cupboard for towels.

Rules that apply in England

In England, any change to the wiring in the shower room, or a new circuit for an electric shower, is notifiable under Part P. If you are replacing the fan, keep it at least as effective as the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second intermittent for a bathroom.

More about shower rooms

Shower rooms in Camden Town: questions

How much should I budget for a shower room in Camden Town?

A shower room in Camden Town usually costs £5,600–£11,250 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Who handles building control for a shower room in Camden Town?

Building control for Camden Town is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does a shower room take?

Allow 4–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Camden Town.

Is the home survey in Camden Town 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.

Can a shower room have a level floor?

Yes. A tiled level floor with a former and linear drain gives a seamless look and level access, but it needs full tanking of the shower area and a suitable floor build-up. On a timber floor, the former is set between the joists; on a concrete floor, the screed may need cutting out to set the drain.
