Bathroom renovation in Kentish Town flats and terraced houses
Where a Kentish Town bathroom sits in a rear addition, the lean-to roof and thin walls can leave it cold and prone to damp. Insulation and ventilation there matter as much as the tiles. In a converted house, the bathroom floor may also be the ceiling of the flat below, so structure and sound separation belong in the first drawings. We survey both before a layout is chosen.
The Party Wall etc. Act is not only about walls. In a Kentish Town conversion, the adjoining owner may live in the same building, beneath the new bathroom floor. Notices, responses or an award must run their course before work covered by the process starts. Building Regulations approval for drainage and ventilation is separate again, and a leaseholder may need a licence to alter. We confirm each for the exact address.
In a Kentish Town terrace with no way round the side, the bath, basin, boards and tiles all travel through the front hall. That hall is protected before the first delivery, and stripped-out material leaves the same way in bagged loads. Where the hall is shared by several flats, a clear route is kept for neighbours throughout. Noisy stripping out is timed to suit the households above and below.
Useful details for a Kentish Town bathroom include the exact address and a copy of the lease plan. If the home is let as a shared house, bathroom provision forms part of the licence standard, so send the licence too. Photographs of the room and any rear addition help. Hampstead Renovations then sets out drainage, waterproofing and ventilation in a written scope, builds it in-house and labels the records by floor and room.
