Putney worktops

The buildings and streets around Putney

People often assume bathroom worktop fitting in Putney is a straight swap, and sometimes it is, though the kitchen usually has an opinion about that. Mansion flats and purpose-built blocks near the river hold the bulk of the work, with kitchens confined to their original footprint, a run of 2.6m to 3.2m and a return, sometimes opened to the reception with a peninsula in the opening. Terraced houses on the streets off the Upper Richmond Road take a conventional rear extension. Once the template is taken the figure stops moving. Everything before that is an estimate and is described as one.

Thick external walls, deep window reveals and boxed risers mean the runs are templated to what is there rather than to a rectangle. Bathrooms in buildings like this are reached up a flight and worked in a room two people can barely stand in, and the visit is planned around both. The aperture is polished because you look straight down into it.

Sash windows sit in deep reveals with a working box behind the lining, so a run dying into one has to clear more than the plaster. A bathroom in one of these was usually carved out of a larger room, so the proportions are odd, the ceiling is high and the reveals are deep enough to want stone in them. An original bathroom is usually the smallest room upstairs.

On this patch the buildings are Victorian terrace, Edwardian mansion flat, 1930s purpose-built flat and Riverside apartment. They fail in different places, which is why the survey looks at different things.

The place

Why bathroom worktops in Putney are their own job

A slab cut to the wrong assumption about Putney is scrap, so the assumptions get checked in person first. The High Street is a red route with a bus gate and no stopping, and the surrounding streets are permit-controlled. Mansion blocks frequently have a small original lift that will not take a slab, meaning a stair carry up two or three flights with a half-landing turn each time. In the older blocks we plan on the lift being unusable and size pieces to the stair turn; a 2.4m maximum is a safer starting point than the room dimensions suggest. It is our problem to solve, and solving it starts with a tape measure.

The money

What bathroom worktops cost in Putney

In Putney, 33% of homes sit in council tax band F or above, higher than 80% of the 723 areas we cover. A peninsula has a finished end and often an overhang, so it carries edge work a wall-side run never does. The catalogue starts at £110 per square metre at the plainest end and reaches £550 at the top, supply only, with the same fabrication work sitting behind either choice.

The carry, and what it rules out for bathroom worktops

A single red line has hours and a double red line does not, and the difference decides whether an early start is a plan or a penalty. An evening bay in a residents-only street suits this job better than a loading restriction in the middle of the morning does. The bathroom pieces come off last and go in first.

Demand

What Putney asks for in bathroom worktops

Nothing about the houses on this patch predicts whether a site needs this, because it is not housing work. What the houses ask for is worktop replacement. The stone, the machining and the crew are the same.

The building

The building, and what it does to the bathroom worktops

Around here the twenties and thirties barely register, so the standard semi galley is not the shape we are fitting. Newer construction hides extract ducting in a ceiling void, while older stock boxes it into a corner where the whole room can see it. A bathroom is measured once, whatever the street is built of.

Questions

Bathroom worktop questions in Putney

Will you take on a job in Putney?

Yes, Putney (SW15) is on the patch, worked on our south west London run with West Putney, Putney Heath and Wandsworth Town.

Why would bathroom worktops in Putney be any different from anywhere else?

In Putney, 33% of homes were built before 1919, which is higher than 63% of the 723 areas we cover. The flats are stacked identically, so the kitchen above sits directly over this one and its waste passes through the same boxing. Walls are thick and out of true, so a vanity is scribed at both ends and the splash return is cut to follow the wall rather than a straight line.

What is the carry like in Putney?

In Putney, 46% of households have no car or van: higher than 58% of the 723 areas we cover. The measurement that decides everything is the diagonal between the underside of the flight above and the outer edge of the turn below it. Newly laid flooring is what is most at risk on the way up, because tiling and grout go down before the stone arrives and fresh grout takes a knock badly.

What makes one job in Putney dearer than the next?

An undermount basin costs more than a countertop one, because the aperture has to be cut, polished and bonded rather than simply dropped through. In Putney, 13% of homes have four or more bedrooms, higher than 70% of the 723 areas we cover.

What needs to be ready before you come to Putney?

In Putney, from the Victorian terrace to the Riverside apartment, the vanity unit needs to be fixed and level before we template, with the basin and tap on site. Confirm the block working hours and any porter sign-in, and have the plumber agree the waste position before we template. Boxing is rarely the same depth at worktop height as it is at floor level, so measuring it low down is the usual reason a top will not sit back. It is the reason a bathroom is templated off the fitted unit rather than off the plan, however simple the piece looks on paper.
