Bathrooms in Croydon
A bathroom installation or refit covers layout planning, waterproofing (tanking), plumbing, electrical work carried out to the relevant zoning requirements, tiling and fitted sanitaryware, coordinated as a single project rather than a series of separate trades.
In Croydon, that covers Purley, Coulsdon, South Croydon, Addiscombe, Selsdon, Shirley, Thornton Heath, Sanderstead, Waddon. Croydon combines a dense town centre and tower-block skyline with substantial suburban housing across Purley, Coulsdon, Addiscombe and Shirley, plus the Victorian and Edwardian terraces closer to South Croydon and Thornton Heath. Its position on the A23/M23 corridor puts it within easy reach of our Surrey and Sussex teams, and it borders Sutton, Bromley and Reigate & Banstead.

Property styles in Croydon
Housing ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre and South Croydon, through interwar semis across Addiscombe, Shirley and Thornton Heath, to larger detached houses in Purley, Coulsdon and Sanderstead. Loft conversions and rear extensions are common on the terraced and semi-detached stock, while the larger plots further south suit more substantial extension and outbuilding projects.
Planning considerations
Croydon Council (London Borough of Croydon) is the local planning authority. Several residential areas, including parts of South Croydon, Coulsdon and Addiscombe, are conservation areas, and parts of the borough's southern edge fall within the Metropolitan Green Belt, which affects extensions and new structures. As with all London boroughs, permitted development rights can also be more restricted on flats and some converted properties.

FAQs
Bathrooms in Croydon: FAQs
Do you provide bathrooms across all of Croydon?
Yes, we cover the CR0, CR2, CR5, CR7 and CR8 postcode areas in full, including Purley, Coulsdon, South Croydon, Addiscombe, Selsdon, Shirley, Thornton Heath, Sanderstead, Waddon.
How long does a bathroom refit take?
A straightforward like-for-like refit is typically completed within one to two weeks. Layout changes, structural floor work for level access, or supply delays on fittings can extend this — we set out a realistic programme once the design is fixed.
What is tanking and why does it matter?
Tanking is a waterproof membrane applied to walls and floors in wet areas before tiling, to prevent water getting into the structure behind or beneath the tiles. It is standard practice on showers and wet rooms and is included in our bathroom specification.
