Bathroom Renovation in Islington.

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 Islington 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.

Islington: the houses and the planning rules.

Islington is Georgian and early Victorian London north of the Angel: flat-fronted brick terraces around the squares of Barnsbury and Canonbury, the grander villas of Highbury Fields, and the canal-side warehouses now converted to apartments. The conservation areas are extensive and many houses are listed.

We have refurbished houses in Highbury and the surrounding streets, and the pattern here is consistent: opening up a narrow terraced plan, adding a side or rear extension at lower ground level, converting the loft and restoring the front elevation. Islington's conservation team expects rear extensions to be subordinate and well detailed.

The Barnsbury, Canonbury, Highbury Fields and Duncan Terrace/Colebrooke Row conservation areas cover most of the district.

London Borough of Islington

Islington decides applications and applies Article 4 directions in most conservation areas, so rear extensions and roof changes generally need a full application.

Basements

The borough's basement policy limits depth and footprint and requires a structural method statement and impact assessment.

Listed terraces

Many terraces are Grade II listed; internal alterations, including removing walls, need listed building consent.

Approvals for bathroom renovation in Islington.

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 Islington: 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 Islington 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.

Which parts of Islington do you cover?

All of Islington and N1, including Gibson Square, Canonbury Square, Highbury Fields, Thornhill Road, Colebrooke Row, Liverpool Road, and the neighbouring districts. We are based in London and our teams work across central, north, north-west, west and south-west London.
