Bathroom Renovation in Chelsea.

A bathroom is a small room where everything has to be right at once: the layout, the tiling, the underfloor heating, the lighting, the furniture and the brassware. We design it as a whole and fit it with our own plumbers, electricians and tilers, which is why our bathrooms in Chelsea and across London are finished to a showroom standard.

Many of the bathrooms we do are in older houses and flats, where the questions are practical: where the soil stack is, whether an en-suite can be squeezed from a bedroom or landing, how to ventilate an internal room. We answer them at the site visit before anything is drawn.

Sanitaryware, furniture and tiles are chosen from samples we bring to you, and a typical bathroom takes two to three weeks on site from strip-out to finished brassware once the design is agreed and the materials have arrived.

Chelsea: the houses and the planning rules.

Chelsea runs from the red-brick and stucco terraces off the King's Road to the riverside streets around Cheyne Walk. The housing is mostly Victorian, much of it listed, in a dense patchwork of conservation areas policed by the Royal Borough, which is known for strict basement and roof policies.

Our work in Chelsea includes a development of six apartments where we designed, supplied and fitted matching kitchens and wardrobes to the developer's programme. Whether it is one house or a whole building, the same rules apply: careful drawings, early approvals and a build that respects the neighbours.

The Chelsea, Royal Hospital, Cheyne and Chelsea Park/Carlyle conservation areas cover most of the district.

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea

RBKC decides applications. Its basement policy limits basements to a single storey under part of the garden, and it takes a firm line on roof extensions and rear elevations.

Conservation areas

Almost all of Chelsea is within a conservation area. Article 4 directions remove permitted development rights on many streets, so extensions generally need a full application.

Developments and flats

In new and converted buildings, works are coordinated with the freeholder or developer and delivered to a fixed programme.

Approvals for bathroom renovation in Chelsea.

Bathrooms do not need planning permission, but new plumbing, electrics in wet zones and ventilation need building regulations approval, and flats usually need the freeholder's consent for changes to services.

Common questions

Bathroom Renovation in Chelsea: your questions.

How long does a bathroom refit take?

Two to three weeks on site from strip-out to finished tiling and brassware, once the design is agreed and the sanitaryware has arrived.

Can you add an en-suite in a Chelsea house?

Usually, by taking space from a bedroom or a landing. Drainage falls and soil stack positions decide where it can go; we check these at the site visit before drawing options.
