Working in Greenwich

In Greenwich we cover SE3, SE7, SE10 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Blackheath, 1.2 miles away, and Canary Wharf.

London homes in Greenwich often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If nobody in your Greenwich home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare. If your Greenwich bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit.

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

Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
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.

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.

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.

Wall-hung or floor-standing toilet in a small bathroom?

A wall-hung toilet makes a small bathroom look larger and is easier to clean around, because the floor runs underneath it. It needs a concealed frame inside a false wall or boxing roughly 150 to 200 mm deep, which can often go where pipe boxing already sits. A back-to-wall pan in a slim furniture unit is a good middle option.
