Working in Barnet

We cover every part of Barnet, including EN4, EN5, HA8 and 7 more postcode districts, and nearby Potters Bar (3.1 miles) and Borehamwood (3.3 miles).

In Barnet, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Barnet bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit. We measure small bathrooms in Barnet to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits.

Water across much of Greater London is very hard. 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

Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines

Decisions to make first

WC type

A short-projection close-coupled WC sits closer to the wall than a standard pan. A wall-hung WC on a concealed frame shows the floor beneath it and is easier to clean around.

Door

Re-hanging the door to open outwards, or fitting a sliding door, frees the space behind it. In a very small room this alone can make space for a bigger shower.

Rules that apply in England

In England, changes to the wiring in a room with a bath or shower are notifiable under Part P, so use an electrician registered with a competent person scheme. If you replace the extractor fan, do not fit one that extracts less than the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second for an intermittent bathroom fan.

More about small bathrooms

Small bathrooms in Barnet: questions

How much should I budget for a small bathroom in Barnet?

A small bathroom in Barnet usually costs £5,600–£10,500 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Barnet 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 EN4 in Barnet?

Yes. We cover all of Barnet, including EN4, EN5, HA8, N2 and 6 more postcode districts, and nearby Potters Bar, Borehamwood and Finchley. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Barnet?

Can you fit a shower bath in a small bathroom?

Yes, a shower bath is one of the most useful fittings in a small bathroom. The wider end under the shower gives you more room to stand, and a curved or angled screen keeps the water in. Shower baths come in shorter lengths, so one can often replace a standard bath in the same position.
