Bathroom renovation in Golders Green flats, conversions and houses

Above a Golders Green shop, a bathroom may sit over another occupier’s ceiling. A slow leak from a tray or trap can show in the shop before it shows upstairs. In purpose-built blocks and conversions, the new layout must join waste routes that were fixed when the building was planned or divided. Hampstead Renovations lifts sample boards and checks the joists, the falls and the waste connection before a layout is drawn. The design then suits the floor it rests on.

Consent for a bathroom here can involve more than one party. Where the flat and the shop below are separately owned, the floor between them may be a party structure, so notices under the Party Wall etc. Act can apply to work that cuts into it. The lease may require the freeholder’s written consent for new waste runs or a moved bathroom. New drainage and extract ventilation can fall under the Building Regulations. We confirm the route for the exact address.

A bathroom strip-out creates heavy waste, and how it leaves the building is planned before work starts. If a skip will stand in a Golders Green parking bay, Barnet has to approve the bay suspension first. The skip company then applies for its licence, quoting that suspension reference. Above a parade, the shop’s busiest delivery period may be the flat’s quietest, so collection and delivery slots are agreed with the shop. Shared stairs and entrances are protected throughout.

Tell us where the Golders Green bathroom sits in the building and whether it will stay in the same position. Photographs of the room, the hot water cylinder if there is one, and any access hatch help, along with freeholder and agent contacts. Hampstead Renovations then agrees a written scope covering strip-out, waste and water routes, waterproofing, tiling and making good. Our own teams build it, and concealed pipework is photographed before walls are closed.
