Covering Barnes
Alongside Barnes, we also cover Chiswick, Putney (2 miles to the south-east) and Fulham.
Homes in London
Much of London’s housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, which is why side return extensions, rear dormers and mansards are so common. Many streets are in conservation areas, and several boroughs use Article 4 directions that remove some permitted development rights.
What is included in bathroom installation in Barnes?
Most bathroom problems come from poor waterproofing and ventilation, so we tank wet areas, fit extraction that actually clears steam, and check water pressure before choosing showers. All electrics in bathrooms are done to the special-location rules.
- Design and layout
- Strip-out and disposal
- Tiling, sanitaryware and brassware

Planning and building rules in Barnes
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
Bathroom refits do not need planning permission.
What should I think about before starting?
- Moving a toilet depends on the soil pipe route.
- Large-format tiles need flat walls, which may mean re-boarding.
From first call to completion
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
