Bathrooms Tailored to South West London Properties

Bathrooms in South West London homes are often the most constrained rooms in the building: tight footprints, ageing soil stacks, awkward joist directions, limited drainage falls and strong expectations around finish and durability.

Start with the floor construction, drainage, water supply and ventilation route. In a flat, check shared services, the lease and freeholder requirements. For a listed home or work affecting external fabric, establish the property-specific approvals. Conservation-area status alone does not make every internal bathroom alteration a planning application.

Our team delivers family bathrooms, wet rooms and en-suites across Chelsea, Fulham, Kensington, and Wimbledon and the wider South West London area, coordinating design, plumbing, joinery, tiling and final snagging under one programme.

Before ordering

Survey, Brief & Design

Why Our Bathrooms Are Different

What separates a Hampstead Renovations bathroom from a plumber with a catalogue.

Trade Pricing on Sanitary Ware

Confirm the selected sanitary ware and brassware, supplier quotation, availability and delivery responsibilities before ordering. Any trade saving must be confirmed for the actual products.

Underfloor Heating

Underfloor heating can be considered where the floor build-up, electrical supply and agreed specification allow it. Confirm the system, controls and commissioning requirements in the quotation.

Wet Room Waterproofing

Specify the waterproofing system, falls, drain connection and junctions together. Installation, inspection and curing must follow the selected system before the tiled finish is completed.

Wall-Hung Fittings

A wall-hung WC, basin or vanity needs suitable support, service connections and maintenance access. Select the arrangement for the actual wall and floor construction.

Niche & Storage Design

Recessed shower niches, mirrored cabinets, under-vanity drawers and towel storage designed into the bathroom architecture — not bolted on as afterthoughts.

Period Bathroom Sensitivity

In Victorian and Georgian homes, we design bathrooms that respect ceiling heights, proportions and sightlines — using materials that acknowledge the property's heritage character.

Lighting Design

Layered bathroom lighting: recessed downlights, backlit mirrors, niche lighting and dimming circuits designed to create both bright task lighting and relaxing ambient mood.

Heated Towel Rails

Electric or wet-system heated towel rails specified as part of the design — positioned for maximum convenience and integrated with the heating controls.

Bathroom Renovation Questions

Common questions from London homeowners planning a bathroom renovation.

How much does a bathroom renovation cost?

The existing London guides start at around £5,000 for a cloakroom, £8,000 for an en-suite, £12,000 for a family bathroom and £25,000 for a luxury master bathroom. These are guide figures, not a quotation for your room. Size, condition, drainage changes, specification, tiling and access affect the total. Confirm design, supply, installation, allowances, exclusions and VAT treatment in the written quotation before work.

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

As a guide, allow 1–2 weeks for design and 2–4 weeks for installation. Product lead times of 1–4 weeks after ordering are a separate allowance and may overlap with design. These ranges are not a fixed completion promise: confirm the survey findings, any approvals, product availability and the agreed scope before setting the dates. The installation programme must allow for waterproofing, drying or curing, fitting and commissioning.

Can you move plumbing to a different position?

A new layout depends on the existing soil stack, waste routes, drainage falls, water supply and floor construction. Survey those constraints before moving a WC, bath or shower. In a flat, check common services, the lease and any freeholder requirements. The design and quotation should identify the feasible route and any structural or specialist work needed.

What is a wet room and do I need one?

A wet-room design brings the shower floor, drainage and waterproofing into a coordinated system. Its suitability depends on the floor build-up, available drainage fall, ventilation and the room’s use. A level-access finish must be checked against the existing construction. Agree the waterproofing system, junctions, curing times and inspection requirements before tiling.

Do you supply sanitary ware and taps?

Supply can be included in the agreed bathroom scope. Confirm the selected products, supplier prices, quantities, delivery dates and responsibility for checking goods before ordering. The quotation should identify sanitary ware, brassware, tiles, accessories, delivery and installation inclusions. Discounts and product availability need confirmation for the actual order.

Can I use the rest of the house during the renovation?

Agree the working area, access route, dust protection and water interruptions before work begins. If this is your only bathroom, plan alternative facilities and confirm the periods without WC or washing access for the actual installation sequence. An occupied home needs a practical plan for the household; uninterrupted facilities cannot be assumed.

Can you add a bathroom where one doesn't exist?

A proposed en-suite or additional bathroom needs a feasible drainage route, water supply, ventilation, electrical design and floor structure. Check whether the layout affects another room, shared services or retained fabric, and what building regulations, lease or other approvals apply. Confirm feasibility before ordering fittings or assuming that a particular position can be used.
