Small bathroom renovation in Greenwich
Making tight Victorian and flat bathrooms work harder — layout, storage and light, not just new tiles.
Greenwich's converted villas produce classic awkward small bathrooms — rooms carved out of half a Victorian bedroom in the 1980s, with the WC under the window and pipework surface-run everywhere. The renovation is half re-plumbing, half joinery: burying the pipe runs in a boxed service wall that doubles as a shelf, then wall-hung fittings on the new wall. Peninsula flats have internal bathrooms with mechanical ventilation — small-room refits there must reconnect to the MVHR correctly, not stuff a standard fan into a system that does not want one.
The houses we see in Greenwich
West Greenwich and the streets up to the park are Georgian and early-Victorian townhouses — flat-fronted brick, sash windows, and bathrooms retrofitted at every period since 1900, some elegantly, some appallingly. Maze Hill and Westcombe Park are large Victorian villas, many converted to flats. East Greenwich and Charlton are conventional Victorian terraces. The peninsula is post-2000 apartment stock: concrete frames, internal bathrooms, mechanical ventilation and heat interface units.
What small bathrooms involves
A small bathroom renovation in south London costs £4,000–£6,500 excluding VAT and takes one to two weeks. Most south London bathrooms are small — the back-addition bathroom of a Victorian terrace is typically under 4m² — and the wins are layout moves: a short-projection toilet, wall-hung basin, over-bath shower or walk-in tray, and every centimetre of wall used for storage.
This is for you if
- The bathroom is under 4m² and feels cramped however clean it is
- A bulky airing cupboard or old layout is eating half the room
- You want a shower but think the room is too small for one
- The only storage is a wobbly freestanding cabinet
- A dark internal bathroom with no window
- A rental flat bathroom that needs to survive tenants
What's included
- Layout options drawn before you commit — usually three ways to use the room
- Space-saving sanitaryware: short-projection WCs, wall-hung basins, sliding glass
- Built-in storage in the dead zones — over the door, in stud walls, boxed pipework
- Light-maximising finishes: large mirrors, reflective tiles, glass over solid
- Proper extraction sized for a small volume — the mould killer
- Full strip-out to fit-out in one to two weeks
The standard we work to
Same regulations as any bathroom: Part P electrics in zones, Part F ventilation — small rooms need the extractor most.
