Expert bathroom renovation services in Hampstead, NW3. Trusted by homeowners across London Borough of Camden.
Hampstead's big Edwardian villas often have bathrooms that kept their original proportions but got saddled with dated fittings and some poor modernising along the way. We strip that back and rebuild, keeping the generous Edwardian floor plan while bringing in proper finishes and modern plumbing.
Houses along Arkwright Road, Downshire Hill and the streets around the Heath tend to have large main bathrooms with high ceilings and original windows. We design around what's already there. A freestanding bath set to catch the daylight, a walk in rainfall shower behind frameless glass, and the height used for a striking pendant or a rooflight overhead.
Plenty of these homes also have smaller second bathrooms and cloakrooms where every inch counts. Wall hung sanitaryware, fitted storage made to measure and a few reflective surfaces make a tight room feel bigger without losing the period feel.
What sets these jobs apart is the detailing. Tile layouts planned to the millimetre, brassware lined up dead straight, every joint and junction finished properly. That's what these houses ask for.
Hampstead's Edwardian villas usually give you more room to play with than a Victorian terrace, but they bring their own headaches. Old lead pipework, asbestos sitting in ceiling cavities and timber floors that need careful tanking are all common. Being inside the conservation area also means any external change, like a new soil pipe route or a vent, has to be handled with care.
A good bathroom pays off here. Buyers in Hampstead expect them finished to a standard that matches the scale and character of the house.
“SOM turned our tired 1970s bathroom into something special. Freestanding copper bath, walk in shower, heated Carrara marble floor. It feels like a good hotel except it's our own house. The workmanship is genuinely superb.”

You get a clear itemised quote with nothing hidden. Design, materials, labour and timings, all set out.
From the plumbing first fix to the last line of grout, our team gets the finish right.
Yes, and the generous proportions in Hampstead make it an easy call. We reinforce the timber floor where it needs it and run the pipework out of sight so the area around the bath stays clean and simple.
We rip out the original lead and iron and replace it with modern copper or plastic while the room's open. You get better pressure and reliability, and no more lead in the supply.
Always. We get a proper asbestos survey done before any demolition in a house built before 1999. If it turns up, we bring in a licensed contractor to remove it before we carry on.
