Bathroom Renovation in Ealing

We renovated a bathroom in Northfields from strip-out to handover — and we work across W5 and W13, from Edwardian terraces to 1930s semis and conversions. One team handles the whole job: plumbing, tiling, fitting and finishing, with the parking and skip permits sorted before day one.

Local knowledge

Renovating bathrooms in Ealing homes

The 'Queen of the Suburbs' is mostly Edwardian and interwar housing — each type with its own renovation questions, answered before we quote.

Edwardian terraces of the Northfields grid

Northfields is street after street of two-storey Edwardian terraces, built around 1900 by different builders — which is why details vary from house to house. Bathrooms usually sit at the rear over the kitchen, on suspended timber floors with pipework extended many times since. We replace tired runs during strip-out instead of hiding them behind new tiles.

1930s semis and post-war homes

Around West Ealing and further into W13 the stock shifts to 1930s semis and post-war houses with slightly larger bathrooms. The most common request is combining a separate WC and bathroom into one proper room — a layout change that lives or dies on getting the soil pipe and ventilation right, so we plan that first.

Flats and conversions

Victorian conversions around West Ealing and Ealing Common bring shared soil stacks, freeholder consent and sometimes weak water pressure. We confirm what the building allows and test the pressure early, so the shower you pick actually performs in your flat.

Planning status — simpler than you might think

Northfields itself is not a conservation area — the council considered designating one in 2022–2024 and decided against it. Ealing borough still has 29 conservation areas (and the streets around Lammas Park have been recommended to become one), so we check the current status of your street before quoting.

Logistics in Ealing

Permits, parking and a tidy build

Ealing's controlled parking zones have their own rules for skips and suspensions. We deal with them before the build, not during.

Skips & rubble

In Ealing's controlled parking zones a skip carries a £50 surcharge per licence, and bay suspensions need to be arranged ahead of time — changes require at least two working days' notice. We apply before the build starts.

Deliveries & parking

Sanitaryware and tiles are scheduled around CPZ hours, and the team's parking is sorted with the council's contractor permits — your visitor vouchers stay yours.

Respect for the street

Floor protection from the front door, dust control during strip-out and a tidy site at the end of every day — the same standard you can see in the Northfields case study photos.

Pricing

From £8,000

Complete bathroom renovations start from around £8,000. After the site visit you get a written quote with the scope and price — what you see in the Northfields case study is the standard the quote pays for.

What moves the price in Ealing

  • The size and layout — especially merging a separate WC into the bathroom, common in W13 semis.
  • The finish and fittings you choose — tiles, brassware, sanitaryware, joinery.
  • What strip-out reveals in Edwardian terraces — old pipe runs and floor structure are fixed properly, not boxed in.
  • Made-to-measure joinery, like the handmade cabinet in our Northfields project — worth it where storage is tight.

Ealing Renovation Questions

Complete bathroom renovations start from around £8,000. In Ealing the price depends mostly on the size and layout of the room and the finish you choose — Edwardian terraces in Northfields often also need old pipe runs replaced at strip-out. You receive a written quote after the site visit, before any work starts.

Yes — a complete renovation in Northfields, delivered in about three weeks: a wall-hung Geberit WC, a handmade made-to-measure cabinet above it, matte black brassware and a warm contemporary finish. We have also completed bathrooms nearby in Chiswick and Acton.

No. Ealing Council consulted on designating a Northfields conservation area in 2022–2024 and decided against it, although the area around Lammas Park has been recommended for designation. In practice most Northfields homes face fewer planning constraints than, say, Bedford Park — but we still confirm the current status for your street at the site visit.

Most complete renovations take 2 to 4 weeks. Our Northfields project took around 3 weeks from strip-out to handover.

A skip placed in an Ealing CPZ costs an extra £50 on top of the licence, and bay suspensions have to be arranged in advance — changes need at least two working days' notice. We book the skip, suspension and deliveries before the build starts, so nothing is improvised on day one.

All of W5 and W13 — Northfields, West Ealing, Ealing Broadway, Ealing Common, Little Ealing and Hanwell — plus neighbouring Acton and Chiswick.
