Working in Streatham

As well as Streatham itself (SE27, SW12 and SW16), we survey in Mitcham, Brixton and Wimbledon.

London homes in Streatham often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If you are converting a bathroom in Streatham into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side. We plan shower rooms in Streatham around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly.

Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Streatham 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
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall

Decisions to make first

Valve and heads

A bar valve is simple and easy to service. A concealed valve with a ceiling head looks cleaner but needs good flow to perform.

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.

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.

Shower rooms in Streatham: questions

What is the price of a shower room in Streatham?

A shower room in Streatham usually costs £5,600–£11,250 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the home survey in Streatham 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.

Do you cover SE27 in Streatham?

Yes. We cover all of Streatham, including SE27, SW12 and SW16, and nearby Mitcham, Brixton and Wimbledon. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Streatham?

What shower suits my water system?

It depends on your hot water. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure to a thermostatic mixer. A tank-fed system may need a pump, which must only be used on gravity systems. An electric shower heats cold mains water and suits a home without much stored hot water. See choosing a shower.
