Bathroom Renovation in Battersea

Battersea's Victorian and Edwardian houses have bathrooms all over the map, from lovely period originals to grim twentieth century add ons. We take whatever's there and turn it into a properly finished, fully waterproofed bathroom that fits the age of the SW11 streets around it.

A lot of the terraces run a single family bathroom on the first floor, usually squeezed awkwardly around a chimney breast and the soil stack. We open those up to get the most usable floor out of them. Bulky fittings come out, in go wall hung sanitaryware, a walk in shower behind frameless glass, and a vanity unit that gives you storage without stealing floor space.

En suites go down well in the bigger Battersea houses, especially the Edwardian ones near Battersea Park and the between the commons streets. We take them from spare bedroom space or an old dressing room, and the point is that it feels like a retreat, not something crammed in. Underfloor heating, heated towel rails and demisting mirrors come as standard.

Every bathroom we do gets a full waterproofing system, walls and floors tanked and tested before any tiling, plus electrical certification to BS 7671. In the one room where water and electrics have to live side by side, we don't leave anything to luck.

Battersea's houses run from compact Victorian terraces to big Edwardian family homes, and each throws up different bathroom problems. The terraces tend to have one bathroom serving the whole house, while the larger places usually have room for several plus an en suite or two.

A good bathroom does a lot for a Battersea property. In the SW11 market buyers expect modern, well finished bathrooms as standard, so a renovation that gets both the look and the quality right pays off.
