Working in Muswell Hill

As well as Muswell Hill itself (N2, N8 and N10), we survey in Wood Green, Archway and Finchley.

In Muswell Hill, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. For shower rooms in Muswell Hill, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform. If you are converting a bathroom in Muswell Hill into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side.

Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Muswell Hill 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

Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
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 or level floor

A low-profile stone-resin tray is quicker to fit and costs less. A tiled level floor looks seamless but needs a former, tanking and more floor preparation.

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.

Do you cover N2 in Muswell Hill?

What size shower tray do I need?

A 900 by 900 mm tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. For a walk-in with one glass panel and no door, 1200 by 800 mm is a practical starting point, and 1400 mm or longer keeps the spray in better. The room shape, door swing and waste position decide the final size.
