Covering Islington
Islington is about 2 miles north-east of London. We also cover Highbury (1 miles to the north), Holloway and Camden Town.
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 bathroom installation?
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
- Waterproofing (tanking) of wet areas
- Extractor fan, lighting and heated towel rail
How much does bathroom installation cost in Islington?
Typical ranges for bathrooms and en-suites. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.

Planning and building rules in Islington
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
Bathroom refits do not need planning permission.
What should Islington homeowners check first?
- Wet rooms need a fall to the drain and full waterproofing.
- Moving a toilet depends on the soil pipe route.
What happens after I enquire?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- 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.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
Your questions answered
Do you tank the shower area?
Yes, every wet area is waterproofed before tiling.
Do I need building regulations approval?
New bathrooms need extraction to meet the regulations, and electrical work may be notifiable.
Can you visit a house in Islington to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
