Bathroom Fitters in Anerley (SE20)
Professional bathroom fitters in Anerley, South East London.
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 and improves water pressure. 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.
Bathroom fitting in Anerley's Victorian terraces and Edwardian semis
Three patterns cover most of what we do in SE20. Which one applies depends on whether you're rebuilding an existing family bathroom, adding a cloakroom, or fitting an en-suite as part of a loft conversion.
Family bathroom strip-and-rebuild and downstairs cloakroom in SE20 terraces
The terraces along Anerley Road, Anerley Park, and the streets towards Anerley station typically have first-floor bathrooms shoehorned into former boxrooms in the 1950s or 1960s, with patched plumbing, a dated suite, and an awkward layout. We strip back to brick, reroute waste runs to the rear soil stack, and rebuild with proper waterproofing, modern sanitaryware, and large-format porcelain tiles. Build time is 3 to 5 weeks. Downstairs cloakroom additions are the second most common job, usually fitted under the stairs or in unused space at the back of the entrance hall. Anerley terraces typically have 0.9 to 1.2 metres of usable space under the original staircase that converts neatly into a wall-hung WC and basin layout. Build time is 2 to 3 weeks. Works well alongside a kitchen extension because the new drainage run can tee into the same connection.
Master en-suite fitting for Anerley loft conversions on Edwardian semis
Edwardian semis in Anerley commonly include an en-suite for the new master bedroom as part of a loft conversion. The en-suite is typically small, 3 to 4 sqm, but spec is higher: walk-in shower with frameless glass, wall-hung WC, single basin with vanity, heated towel rail, underfloor heating. It is added to the larger loft project, with a build time of 2 to 3 weeks within the loft programme.
Victorian plumbing problems in SE20 and how we fix them
Three plumbing-specific issues affect most Anerley bathroom renovations. The wall is open during a strip-out, which is the right time to deal with any of them. Fixing them later means disrupting a finished bathroom.
Cast-iron soil stacks and lead supply pipes in pre-1930 Anerley properties
Cast-iron soil stacks on pre-1930 SE20 properties typically have corroded joints by the time a renovation is commissioned. The section behind the bathroom is most accessible and most likely to leak. We replace it with modern PVC during the renovation, and we replace the rear elevation only, so the front of the property is unchanged. 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, for the bathroom section or a full property replumb. Thames Water replaces the section under the pavement free of charge if the internal section is being replaced at the same time; we coordinate that application.
Gravity-fed hot water and low shower pressure in Anerley Victorian terraces
Many Anerley Victorian terraces still run on a gravity-fed cold-tank-and-cylinder system. Shower pressure on the first floor is typically poor. With the walls open during a renovation, it's the right time to upgrade. An unvented cylinder upgrade runs at mains pressure, fitted with G3 commissioning to BS 7593. A combi boiler upgrade eliminates the cylinder and tank entirely, 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.
The Anerley bathroom project process: trades, Bromley Building Control, and certification
An Anerley bathroom renovation involves 5 to 7 trades over 3 to 5 weeks: plumbing, electrics, plastering, waterproofing, tiling, joinery, decoration. Without a single project manager coordinating them, gaps and overlaps are what turn a straightforward job into a six-week saga.
Building Regulations and Bromley Council sign-off for bathroom work in SE20
Internal bathroom renovations don't need planning permission. Anerley falls under London Borough of Bromley. Building Regulations do apply for electrical work (BS 7671 Part 7-701, notification of notifiable work), 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. Where notifiable work is part of the scope, the Bromley Building Control completion certificate is what proves compliance when you sell or remortgage. We submit the applications, schedule inspections, and obtain the certificate as part of every project. Waterproofing uses approved products from Schluter Systems or Mapei, with the Schluter-Kerdi membrane standard for shower areas and wet rooms. Our office on Limes Avenue is 5 minutes from any Anerley property, which means same-day surveys and fast response if anything needs attention during or after the build. Fixed-price contracts cover labour, materials, all fees, Building Control where applicable, and any soil stack replacement, lead pipe replumb, or hot water upgrade found during strip-out. The price doesn't change unless the specification does.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What specification do you fit in an Anerley bathroom?
- A full strip-and-rebuild family bathroom in SE20 runs from mid-range to premium specification: Duravit or Roca sanitaryware, Crosswater or Hansgrohe brassware, large-format porcelain tiles, and underfloor heating. A master en-suite during a loft conversion takes a similar high spec in a smaller footprint. A downstairs cloakroom addition is usually a wall-hung WC and basin under the stairs. Where needed, we also fold in an unvented cylinder upgrade, soil stack replacement on the rear elevation, and lead supply pipe replacement during the same project. The fixed-price contract is confirmed after a free site visit, 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.
- 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. Where notifiable work is part of the scope, the Bromley Building Control completion certificate is delivered at handover. We submit the applications, schedule the inspections, and obtain the certificate as part of every project.
