The housing stock
What Greenwich bathrooms
tend to throw up.
Greenwich has one of the largest concentrations of protected building stock in London, and it constrains bathroom work more than people expect. Where an extract can terminate, whether a soil pipe can be altered externally, and what can be removed internally are all live questions before design begins. The buildings themselves are solid-walled with lath and lime plaster, which means substrates need proper preparation rather than a skim and hope. Toward Blackheath the properties are larger and the work more often involves adding a bathroom rather than replacing one.
- World Heritage and conservation area constraints
- Listed building consent in parts of the borough
- Lath and lime plaster substrates behind old tiling
- External soil and extract alterations restricted
- Larger properties around Blackheath taking second bathrooms

Greenwich
Questions we are
asked most.
Do you cover all of Greenwich?
Yes, across SE3, SE10 and the surrounding streets. We work across Greater London only, which means we can get back to a job quickly if you need us.
How quickly can you survey a property in Greenwich?
Usually within one working day of your enquiry. The survey takes about forty-five minutes and there is no charge and no obligation.
Do you deal with the freeholder or managing agent?
We can. In converted flats and mansion blocks, consent is often needed before waste runs are altered. We will tell you at survey whether that applies and what is likely to be required.
Renovating in Greenwich?
Book a free survey. Forty-five minutes at your property, and an honest answer about what the room can take.
