Working in Kilburn

We work right across Kilburn — NW2, NW3 and NW6 — and in neighbouring Cricklewood and Camden Town.

London homes in Kilburn often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If you are converting a bathroom in Kilburn into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side. Where a Kilburn shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter.

Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Kilburn 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 survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
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.

Glass

8 mm toughened glass is the usual standard for a walk-in panel. An easy-clean coating helps a great deal in hard-water areas.

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 Kilburn: questions

What is the price of a shower room in Kilburn?

A shower room in Kilburn usually costs £5,600–£11,250 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Who handles building control for a shower room in Kilburn?

Building control for Kilburn 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 Kilburn.

Is the home survey in Kilburn 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.
