The housing stock
What Islington bathrooms
tend to throw up.
Islington is one of the most converted boroughs in London. A large share of the properties we survey here are flats formed out of Georgian or Victorian houses, which means bathrooms sitting directly above a neighbour's habitable rooms, shared soil stacks and, frequently, an internal bathroom with no window. Waterproofing matters more here than almost anywhere: a failure does not damage your floor, it damages someone else's ceiling, and that becomes a leaseholder dispute rather than a repair. Conservation area status across much of the borough also restricts what can be done externally, which affects extract termination.
- Flat conversions with bathrooms over habitable rooms
- Internal bathrooms requiring mechanical extract
- Shared soil stacks and restricted waste routes
- Conservation area constraints on external work
- Lath and plaster substrates behind old tiling

Islington
Questions we are
asked most.
Do you cover all of Islington?
Yes, across N1, N5, N7 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 Islington?
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.
