Bathroom fitters
in West London.
We take a bathroom from strip-out to hand-over: the plumbing, the tanking, the tiling, the electrics and the second fix. Most people find us through these rooms, and most of the photographs on this site are them.

The tiling is the last week of the work.
A bathroom is a plumbing job and a waterproofing job wearing a tiled finish. The visible part takes a few days at the end. What takes the time is getting the services where they need to be, sealing the wet walls, and setting the falls so water leaves the room.
- Full strip-out back to brick or stud, and disposal
- Moving hot, cold and waste to the new layout
- Metal stud, boarding and concealed cistern frames
- Tanking and waterproofing to every wet area
- Falls set to the drain before any tile is cut
- Large-format porcelain, natural stone and mosaic
- Level-access wet rooms and linear drains
- Screens, brassware, wall-hung WCs and vanities
- Backlit niches, mirrors, extraction and underfloor heating
We photograph it before it gets covered up.
Tanking, pipe runs, fixings behind the plasterboard: you can see all of it for about a week, and then never again. We take pictures of that stage on every bathroom and hand them over at the end, so there is a record of what is behind the tiles.
Bathrooms across West London.
We are ten minutes from most of West London and work daily in the stucco terraces of Notting Hill and Bayswater, the mansion blocks of Kensington, and the bay-fronted Victorian houses of Hammersmith and Fulham.
Bathrooms, answered plainly.
What does a bathroom refit actually involve?
Strip out back to brick or stud, move the plumbing and electrics to the new layout, board and tank the wet walls, set the falls to the drain, tile, then second fix the brassware, screens and sanitaryware. The tanking and the falls are the parts that decide whether the room is still sound in ten years.
What is tanking, and do I need it?
Tanking is a waterproof layer applied to the walls and floor of the wet area before any tile goes on. Tile and grout are not waterproof on their own. Any shower area or wet room needs it, and we photograph ours before it is covered.
Can you do a level-access wet room in a flat?
Usually, but it depends on the floor build-up and where the existing waste runs. That is one of the things we check on the visit, because it is not something anyone can answer from a photograph.
How long will it take?
It depends on the size of the room and what we find behind the walls, which is why we do not guess down the phone. The quote comes with the running order, week by week, so you know which trade is in when and what you have to have chosen by then.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
A range, yes. A written price, no — not until we have seen the room. Send a photo and your postcode on WhatsApp and we will tell you the ballpark and whether it needs a visit. The itemised quote follows the visit.
Do you cover my postcode?

Quickest is a phone call, or a WhatsApp with a couple of photos and your postcode. Ahmad answers the phone himself.
