A bathroom installation replaces your old suite with new sanitaryware, a bath or shower, tiling and fittings, including the plumbing, electrics, ventilation and waterproofing needed for a complete, watertight room.
We take on a new bathroom throughout Wealdstone and the surrounding HA1, HA2, HA3 and HA5 postcodes, as well as in Harrow, Pinner and Bushey. The guide range for this work in London is £6,500–£15,500 including VAT; where your project falls depends on its size, the materials you pick and how easy the site is to reach. A free survey turns that range into a fixed figure.

Local housing and a new bathroom
London's housing is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often in yellow London stock brick, with Georgian terraces in central districts and mansion blocks across many inner areas. Outer boroughs have large belts of interwar semis, and there are extensive post-war council estates. Many houses have been split into flats, and conservation areas are widespread.
London Clay shrinks and swells with the seasons, and street trees close to houses can contribute to movement, which affects foundation design.
For a new bathroom in Wealdstone, this means checking things like wall construction, roof structure and existing services before we put a figure on paper.
Do you need permission in Wealdstone?
Planning law differs across the UK. For a home in Wealdstone, it is the England rules below that count, and we check them with the council ahead of any quote.
Internal work such as a new kitchen, bathroom, flooring, plastering or decorating does not need planning permission in England, unless the house is listed, when listed building consent may be needed even for internal changes.
Some internal work is covered by Building Regulations: new electrical circuits and work in bathrooms (Part P), new drainage, structural changes, extractor ventilation and any new window. Notifiable work is certified by a registered installer or by building control.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
From survey to handover
Survey and measure
Book a visit and we'll come to you. The survey covers measurements, the state of what's there now and any obvious constraints, so the price that follows is based on your actual home, not an average.
Written quote
We put everything into a written, fixed-price quote: the specification, what's excluded, staged payments and the expected time on site. Take whatever time you need to decide; there's no pressure to commit.
Dates and permissions
We handle the paperwork side: checking whether planning permission or building control approval is needed, submitting applications where they are, and scheduling the trades and materials around your dates.
On site to finish
On site, the agreed plan is followed and any change is put in writing first. At completion we do a final clean, go through the snagging list with you and leave you with the relevant documents.
What you can expect from us
Common questions
What happens at the survey?
We visit your home at a time that suits you, look at the area involved, take measurements and check access, condition and any services that might be affected. We talk through what you want from a new bathroom, explain the options and answer questions. There is no charge and no obligation; afterwards we send a written quote.
Will I have to go without a bathroom?
If it is your only bathroom, you will usually be without a shower or bath for most of the fitting time. We aim to keep the toilet working overnight wherever possible, refitting it temporarily at the end of each day during strip-out and first fix. If you have a second bathroom or downstairs toilet, the disruption is much easier. We plan the sequence with you before starting.
Do I need planning permission in Wealdstone?
It depends on the work, the size of the project, your property type and whether the building is listed or in a conservation area. Wealdstone is in England, so England's rules apply. Many smaller jobs need no planning application, but some still need building control approval. We check what applies to your address before quoting.
What ventilation does a bathroom need?
A bathroom needs mechanical ventilation, usually an extractor fan, to remove steam and help prevent condensation and mould. Building regulations set minimum extraction rates for new or refitted bathrooms. A fan linked to the light with an overrun timer, or one with a humidity sensor, works well. Ducting should vent outside by the shortest practical route. We include a suitable fan in every bathroom quote.
How long does it take to fit a bathroom?
Fitting a typical bathroom takes one to two weeks on site. Strip-out and first-fix plumbing and electrics come first, followed by any plastering or boarding, waterproofing, tiling and then the suite, taps and fittings. Wet rooms and rooms with underfloor heating take longer because screeds and waterproofing need time to cure. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts.
