Bathroom Fitting in Islington.
Islington is known for its Georgian and Victorian period housing stock. The borough has a high proportion of owner-occupiers who invest substantially in renovation.
Period conversions in this area often have ageing cast-iron soil stacks, original lead waste pipes and narrow bathroom plans. We scope drainage routing at the survey — the structural and plumbing detail behind the tiles determines what can be specified.
The property stock here is predominantly Georgian terraces, Victorian townhouses and warehouse-to-residential conversions. Islington's Georgian and Victorian floors frequently benefit from sanding and restoration — we assess this at every survey before recommending new materials.
Bathroom Fitting done properly.
What makes our bathroom fitting work different from a standard quote in Islington.
Properly tanked, not just painted
Schlüter Kerdi membrane and Mapei Mapelastic on every wet zone. The same systems used in commercial wet rooms — not the £30 paint-on alternative.
3-week typical from strip to snag
A full family bathroom in 15 working days. We give a day-by-day programme in the quote so you can plan around it.
Pressure-tested before closing
Every plumbing connection pressure-tested at 1.5× working pressure before tiling starts. If something fails, we find it while there is still access.
One trade, one timeline
Plumbing, electrics and tiling coordinated under one contract. No relay race of separate tradespeople.

Bathroom Fitting in Islington — questions answered.
Cheap tanking is paint-on waterproofing — it costs around £30 and is not rated for permanent wet exposure. We use Schlüter Kerdi membrane and Mapei Mapelastic systems, the same products used in commercial wet rooms. The cost difference per job is about £80–150. The failure rate difference is significant.
Electrical work in bathrooms must be carried out by a registered electrician. We will advise you at the survey and plan the installation around it.
A standard family bathroom is typically out of full use for 5–7 working days. We give a day-by-day programme in the quote so you can plan around it.
Both. We have accounts with most UK bathroom suppliers, or we will fit a suite you have already chosen from CP Hart, Bathstore, Roca or elsewhere. We ask to see the specification before quoting.
Yes — properly drained, tanked and sloped floors with linear drains. The floor must fall to the drain at the right gradient and the entire area must be waterproofed to wet room standard. We do it correctly.
We are based in EC1N — Islington is one of our first-call areas. Surveys are typically available within 24–48 hours. A fixed-price written quote follows within three working days of the survey.
