Bathroom fitters in Bromley

Bromley is interwar suburbia at its best — street after street of 1930s bay-fronted semis and chalet bungalows with generous upstairs bathrooms, big lofts, and owners who have been in the house twenty years and are finally doing the bathroom properly. It is also, with Sutton, where most of our accessible-bathroom work comes from.

1930s semi-detached street typical of Bromley

The housing in Bromley, and what it means

The core is 1930s semi-detached — bay fronts, mock-Tudor gables, a family bathroom over the hall and a separate WC beside it. Petts Wood and West Wickham add chalet bungalows with bathrooms downstairs and loft rooms above. Bickley and Shortlands have larger Victorian and Edwardian villas, often with two or three bathrooms already. Beckenham mixes Victorian terraces with mansion flats. What almost all of it shares: original gravity hot-water systems in various states of replacement, and lofts that have either been converted or are about to be.

The practical bit

Half the bathroom problems in Bromley trace to the plumbing era, not the room: gravity systems with a cold tank in the loft and a cylinder in the airing cupboard deliver poor shower pressure, and every second job includes the conversation about moving to an unvented cylinder or combi. Doing it during the bathroom refit — while walls are open — is half the cost of doing it later. Water is hard here too; scale protection is standard specification.
