Bathroom Renovation in Barnes.

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 Barnes 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.

Barnes: the houses and the planning rules.

Barnes is a riverside village inside a loop of the Thames: Georgian houses on the Terrace, the Green with its pond, Victorian streets running back towards the Common, and the wide Castelnau estate leading to Hammersmith Bridge. It is quiet, well kept and closely protected.

The projects match the houses: refurbishments of Victorian family homes, side-return and rear extensions, lofts, and the occasional basement where the ground conditions near the river allow. Richmond's conservation guidance applies almost everywhere, and flood risk is checked on riverside sites.

The Barnes Green, Castelnau and Barnes Common conservation areas cover most of the village.

London Borough of Richmond upon Thames

Richmond decides applications; Article 4 directions in the Barnes conservation areas mean most external changes need a full application.

River and flood risk

Riverside streets sit in the Environment Agency flood zone, which affects basements and requires a flood risk assessment.

Castelnau

The paired villas of the Castelnau estate have specific guidance on roofs, side extensions and boundary walls.

Common questions

Bathroom Renovation in Barnes: 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 Barnes 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 Barnes do you cover?

All of Barnes and SW13, including The Terrace, Castelnau, Church Road, Station Road, Lonsdale Road, Nassau Road, and the neighbouring districts. We are based in London and our teams work across central, north, north-west, west and south-west London.
