The questions that decide bathroom worktop fitting in Golders Green are dull ones about doorways, corners and what the floor is doing, and they are asked early for good reason. Two clear kitchen types: 1930s mansion flats with fixed compact kitchens against a services wall, and family houses where the brief can include two sinks, two dishwashers, separate prep runs and often two ovens. That doubles the number of cut-outs and usually means two matched worktop runs rather than one. Send a few photographs of the run and we will tell you which of those you are dealing with before we come out to Golders Green.
Freeholder consent, a works agreement and proof of insurance are often wanted before a van is allowed to unload. The stone is the straightforward half of a bathroom. The order the trades come in is what actually decides when we can be there. Cut for the basin you bought, not for a standard one.
Walls are solid brick with lime plaster and a hard skim over the top, and that skim comes away in sheets when old tiles are taken back. A bathroom in a block like this was usually carved out of a larger room, so the proportions are odd, the ceiling is high and the window reveals are deep enough to be worth cutting in stone. Concrete walls take a bracket well and a chase badly.
The housing on these streets is 1930s mansion block, Edwardian and 1920s semi and large detached off the main roads. A quote that ignores which one you have is guessing.
