Working in Wimbledon

In Wimbledon we cover SW17, SW19 and SW20; we also cover Morden, 1.7 miles away, and Mitcham.

London homes in Wimbledon often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. We measure small bathrooms in Wimbledon to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits. If you live in a terrace or semi in Wimbledon with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain.

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

Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
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

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.

Glass

Clear glass with a slim profile or none lets the eye travel through the room. A fixed panel needs no clearance for a door to swing.

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 Wimbledon?

Building control for Wimbledon 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 Wimbledon.

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.
