Bathroom renovation in Putney

The properties we see in Putney

Putney's core is late Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis, generally larger and later than Fulham's, with deeper rear gardens that make extensions straightforward. Towards Putney Heath and West Putney the stock shifts to substantial 1920s and 1930s detached and semi-detached houses with generous plots, accessible loft space and cavity walls — the easiest properties on our patch to work in. Along the river there are modern apartment developments with their own management constraints.

Planning in Wandsworth

Wandsworth is generally the most workable planning authority we deal with, and permitted development rights are more often intact here than in Kensington and Chelsea or the Fulham conservation areas. The 1930s stock in particular tends to have full permitted development rights, which means a rear extension and a loft conversion can often proceed under a lawful development certificate rather than a full application — faster, cheaper and much lower risk.

What bathrooms involves

A full bathroom renovation in Fulham is £12,000–£30,000 depending on specification and whether drainage moves. The cost driver in a Victorian terrace is rarely the sanitaryware — it is falls on the waste run, floor build-up, and getting extraction to an external wall.

Consider this if

• The bathroom is original and everything needs replacing
• You want to add an en-suite to a bedroom or loft
• There is a persistent leak or damp in the ceiling below
• You want a wet room or level-access shower
• The layout wastes space in a small Victorian bathroom
• The extractor has never worked properly

What's included

• Full strip-out and disposal
• New hot and cold feeds, waste runs with correct falls
• Tanking to wet areas before tiling — not just around the shower tray
• Underfloor heating where the floor build-up allows
• Mechanical extraction ducted to an external wall, not into the loft
• Tiling, sanitaryware installation, electrical certification

The standard we build to

Wet areas tanked before tiling, electrical work zoned and certified to BS 7671 Part 7 Section 701, and extraction rates to Building Regulations Part F.
