Bathroom design in Nunhead
A narrow Nunhead house may need a shower room in a space left over by the stairs or a box room.
Check head height, door position and the soil-pipe run before promising a layout.
We set out the layout and the services before choosing finishes.
That lets a refit, a new room and a larger building job be priced as different scopes rather than one vague estimate.
Make it buildable
Bathroom fitting and renovation
Where an external vent or window changes, the relevant borough and any conservation designation matter.
Keeping the bathroom wholly internal avoids some planning questions, but plumbing, extraction and electrical work still need a proper specification.
The brief covers plumbing, waterproofing, ventilation, electrics, tiling and decoration.
We check the hidden work before committing to the visible layout.
The local check
What changes from one Nunhead property to another
Victorian terraces, many of them small, and a good number of flat conversions.
Rooms are tight, so the layout decision matters more here than the specification does.
The council, heritage designation and property type matter when a plan changes the outside of a home.
They do not by themselves mean a simple internal refit needs planning permission.
We check the actual address and the proposed work before saying what consent is needed.

Talk through your room
Start with a call, then a survey if it fits.
Tell us the postcode, the room as it is and what needs to change. We can then decide whether the brief is a bathroom refit or a wider building project.
