Bathroom Renovation in St John's Wood.

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 St John's Wood 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.

St John's Wood: the houses and the planning rules.

St John's Wood was London's first garden suburb of villas, laid out from the 1820s, and much of that character survives: paired stucco villas set back behind front gardens, later Victorian houses on the roads towards Maida Vale, and the mansion blocks and 1930s apartment buildings along Wellington Road and St John's Wood Road. Abbey Road and Lord's sit at its edges, Regent's Park to the south.

For owners that means large, well-proportioned rooms, deep plots that suit rear extensions and basements, and a planning authority, Westminster, that expects any change to respect the villa character. We have fitted kitchens on Abbey Road and in the roads off the High Street, and we know which streets carry the tighter controls.

The St John's Wood Conservation Area covers most of the district.

Westminster City Council

Westminster decides planning and listed building applications. The St John's Wood Conservation Area removes some permitted development rights, so many rear extensions and roof changes need a full application.

Villas and gardens

Extensions are judged on their effect on the villa form and on garden space; basements need a Basement Impact Assessment under Westminster's basement policy.

Flats and mansion blocks

Refurbishing a flat usually needs a licence to alter from the freeholder or block management in addition to building regulations.

Approvals for bathroom renovation in St John's Wood.

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 St John's Wood: 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 St John's Wood 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.

All of St John's Wood and NW8, including Abbey Road, Hamilton Terrace, Loudoun Road, Wellington Road, Circus Road, St John's Wood High Street, and the neighbouring districts. We are based in London and our teams work across central, north, north-west, west and south-west London.
