Bathroom fitters in Islington

Islington’s Georgian and Victorian terraces in Canonbury, Barnsbury and Highbury are mostly conservation areas, and many are now flats. Bathrooms are small, often on a half-landing, and right above someone else. We fit them carefully and price them in writing before we start.

Half-landing bathrooms in Georgian terraces

The classic Islington bathroom sits in the rear closet wing on the half-landing: narrow, with one window and the soil stack outside. It rewards careful planning: a shower across the end wall, a short-projection basin and a wall-hung toilet often make a tight room work.

Conservation areas and the outside of the house

Most of Islington’s period streets are in conservation areas. Internal work rarely needs consent, but new pipes or vents on a front or prominent elevation may. We route them discreetly and flag anything that needs checking with the council.

Conversions: the flat below

In a converted terrace, your bathroom floor is someone else’s ceiling. We tank the wet zone, fit trays on a solid, level base and test before tiling, because fixing a leak after the tiles are on costs far more than doing it once.

What a bathroom in Islington costs

Half-landing bathrooms are priced after a free visit, as a fixed sum that covers the whole job, and the current offer reduces that by 10%. Anything that is a repair rather than a refit is charged at £110 for the first hour and £45 for each further half hour.
