Working in Streatham
We work right across Streatham — SE27, SW12 and SW16 — and in neighbouring Mitcham and Brixton.
In Streatham, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. In a long, narrow Streatham en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. We measure walk-in showers in Streatham so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.
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
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
Decisions to make first
Tray length
Go long rather than wide. A 1400 to 1700 mm tray with a 900 to 1200 mm panel leaves a dry walkway; a 1200 mm tray works but gives less margin for spray.
Glass thickness
8 mm toughened glass is standard; 10 mm feels heavier and more solid. An easy-clean coating keeps limescale off clear glass in hard-water areas.
Rules that apply in England
In England, moving or adding lights, a fan or a shower circuit in a room with a bath or shower is notifiable under Part P. A tiled level floor that needs a new drain connection at the soil stack can bring in Part H.
