Working in Camden Town

In Camden Town we cover EC1N, NW1, NW3 and 14 more postcode districts; we also cover Holloway, 1.1 miles away, 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. If the door of your Camden Town bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan. If your Camden Town bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit.

Most of Greater London has very hard water. 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
Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well

Decisions to make first

Storage

Recess shelves into stud walls or boxing, put a mirror cabinet over the basin and use the wall above the WC. Avoid floor-standing units in very tight rooms.

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.

Who handles building control for a small bathroom 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 small bathroom take?

Allow 5–8 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 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.
