Why Choose All Well for Bathroom Fitting in Anerley?
The Victorian and Edwardian properties in Anerley typically have a single bathroom on the first floor with dated plumbing and tired fixtures. A full bathroom renovation refreshes the space, improves water pressure, and adds value to the property. Many clients in Anerley also add a downstairs cloakroom during renovation — especially popular with families in the terraced houses.
Every project comes with a fixed-price contract, single project manager, and full certification including Building Control sign-off.

Bathroom Fitting Tip for Anerley Homeowners
Many Anerley properties built before 1910 have original lead supply pipes that should be replaced during any bathroom work for health and water quality reasons. The cast-iron soil stacks common on Victorian terraces in SE20 are often corroded at the joints and benefit from replacement with modern PVC. We handle all plumbing, electrics, and Building Control certification — being 5 minutes from your property means we can respond quickly to any issues during the build.
What an Anerley bathroom fit typically covers
Three patterns cover most of what we do in SE20. Family bathroom strip-and-rebuild on a Victorian terrace is the most common. The terraces along Anerley Road, Anerley Park, and the streets towards Anerley station have first-floor bathrooms shoehorned into former boxrooms in the 1950s or 1960s. The plumbing is patched, the suite is dated, and the layout is awkward. We strip back to brick, reroute the waste runs to the rear soil stack, and rebuild with proper waterproofing, modern sanitaryware, and large-format porcelain tiles. Cost is £8,500-£15,000. Build time 3-5 weeks. Downstairs cloakroom addition is the second pattern, usually fitted under the stairs or in unused space at the back of the entrance hall. Anerley terraces typically have 0.9-1.2 metres of usable space under the original staircase that converts neatly into a wall-hung WC and basin layout. Cost is £4,500-£8,000. Build time 2-3 weeks. Works well alongside a kitchen extension because the new drainage run can tee into the same connection. Master en-suite during a loft conversion is the third pattern. Anerley loft conversions on Edwardian semis usually include an en-suite for the new master bedroom. The en-suite is small (typically 3-4 sqm) but spec is higher: walk-in shower with frameless glass, wall-hung WC, single basin with vanity, heated towel rail, underfloor heating. Cost is £6,000-£11,000 added to the larger loft project. Build time 2-3 weeks within the loft programme.
Anerley plumbing specifics — soil stacks, lead pipes, gravity hot water
Three plumbing-specific issues affect most Anerley bathroom renovations. The wall is open during a strip-out, which is the right time to fix any of them. Cast-iron soil stacks. The cast-iron soil stack on pre-1930 SE20 properties usually has corroded joints by the time a renovation is commissioned. The section behind the bathroom is the most accessible and the most likely to leak. Replacement with modern PVC during the renovation costs £700-£1,200 and saves a future call-out. We typically replace the rear elevation only, which keeps the front of the property unchanged. Lead supply pipes. Anerley properties built before 1970 often have original lead supply pipes. Lead leaches trace amounts into drinking water and the pipes corrode at joints over time. Replacement uses modern copper or push-fit plastic. Cost is £400-£700 for the bathroom section, £1,200-£2,200 for a full property replumb where the entire supply is being upgraded. Thames Water replaces the section under the pavement free of charge if the internal section is being replaced at the same time — we coordinate the application. Gravity-fed hot water systems. Many Anerley Victorian terraces still run on a gravity-fed cold-tank-and-cylinder system with a cold tank in the loft. Shower pressure on the first floor is typically poor. During a bathroom renovation, the walls are open and the plumbing accessible. Unvented cylinder upgrade runs at mains pressure and costs £2,500-£4,200 fitted with G3 commissioning to BS 7593. Combi boiler upgrade eliminates the cylinder and tank entirely at £2,800-£3,800 fitted by our Gas Safe registered engineer. Electrics in bathrooms follow BS 7671 Part 7-701 zoning (Zone 0, 1, 2). Wrong fittings in the wrong zone fail Building Control inspection — we don't take that risk.
Project management on an Anerley bathroom fit
An Anerley bathroom renovation involves 5-7 trades over 3-5 weeks: plumbing, electrics, plastering, waterproofing, tiling, joinery, decoration. Coordinating these without a single project manager produces the gaps and overlaps that turn a tidy job into a six-week saga. We assign one project manager from survey through handover. The project manager runs the daily programme, schedules the trades, manages materials, and reports progress. Anerley falls under Bromley Council. Internal bathroom renovations don't need planning permission. Building Regulations apply for the electrical work (BS 7671 Part 7-701, notification of notifiable work), any boiler relocation (Gas Safe certification), and unvented hot water cylinder installation (BS 7593 commissioning). Our NICEIC-registered electrician signs off all new circuits. Our G3 certified installer handles unvented cylinder commissioning. Bromley Building Control charges £400-£600 where notifiable work is part of the scope. The completion certificate is what proves the work is compliant when you sell or remortgage. Waterproofing systems use approved products from Schluter Systems or Mapei. The Schluter-Kerdi membrane is standard for shower areas and wet rooms. Underfloor heating is designed to BS EN 1264 with a thermostat per zone. Fixed-price contracts cover labour, materials, all fees, Building Control where applicable, and any soil stack replacement, lead pipe replumb, or hot water upgrade discovered during strip-out. The price doesn't change unless the specification does. Our office on Limes Avenue is 5 minutes from any Anerley property, which means same-day surveys, fast quote turnaround, and rapid response if something needs attention during or after the build.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How much does an Anerley bathroom fit cost?
- A full strip-and-rebuild family bathroom in SE20 runs £8,500-£15,000 at mid-range to premium specification (Duravit or Roca sanitaryware, Crosswater or Hansgrohe brassware, large-format porcelain tiles, underfloor heating).

Soil stack replacement on the rear elevation costs £700-£1,200. Lead supply pipe replacement is £400-£700 for the bathroom section. Fixed-price contract before any work starts.
- Why does my Anerley bathroom need a soil stack replacement?
- Because cast-iron soil stacks on pre-1930 properties typically have corroded joints by the time a bathroom renovation is commissioned. The vertical pipe connects the bathroom waste, the toilet, and any kitchen waste above into the underground drain. After 100+ years of moisture and movement, the joints between sections oxidise and start to weep. The section behind the bathroom is the easiest to access during a strip-out, which makes the timing right. Replacement uses 110mm PVC connected to the existing clay drain at the bottom and (where applicable) the original cast-iron stack above. The work is rear-elevation only and doesn't change the front of the property. Cost £700-£1,200.
- Do I need Bromley Council consent for a bathroom in Anerley?
- No planning permission for internal bathroom work. Building Regulations apply for the electrical work, any boiler installation or relocation, and any unvented hot water cylinder. Our NICEIC-registered electrician notifies the work to Bromley Building Control under Part P (electrical safety in dwellings). Gas Safe registered engineers handle any boiler work. Our G3 certified installer commissions unvented cylinders to BS 7593 and provides the certificate. Bromley Building Control fees are typically £400-£600 where notifiable work is part of the scope, and the completion certificate is delivered at handover. We submit the applications, schedule the inspections, and obtain the certificate as part of every project.
