Working in Muswell Hill

We work right across Muswell Hill — N2, N8 and N10 — and in neighbouring Wood Green and Archway.

London homes in Muswell Hill often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. For a wet room in a Muswell Hill flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts. If you are planning a wet room in Muswell Hill for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Supplies across most of Greater London are very hard. If your supply in Muswell Hill 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

Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection

Decisions to make first

Open or screened

A fully open shower with no glass only works in a larger room, with the basin, WC and towels well away from the spray.

Floor tile

Matt or textured porcelain with good slip resistance. Mosaic gives extra grip on a centre-drain floor because of its many grout lines.

Rules that apply in England

In England, a new drain connection or changes at the soil stack can be building-regulations work under Part H, and new circuits or changes to the wiring in the room are notifiable under Part P. If the wet room is a newly formed bathroom, Approved Document F requires extract of 15 litres per second intermittent or 8 litres per second continuous.

More about wet rooms

Wet rooms in Muswell Hill: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Muswell Hill?

A wet room in Muswell Hill usually costs £7,500–£15,000 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose.

How long does a wet room take?

Is the home survey in Muswell Hill 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 N2 in Muswell Hill?

Yes. We cover all of Muswell Hill, including N2, N8 and N10, and nearby Wood Green, Archway and Finchley. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you have a wet room on a wooden floor?

Yes. On a timber floor, the former usually sits down between the joists so the finished floor stays level, and the joists may need trimming, strengthening or extra noggins. The floor must be stiff, often with a ply overlay, so it does not flex and crack the tiles or the tanking. We check the joists at the survey before quoting.
