Two things are worth settling first with bathroom worktop fitting in Wimbledon Village: what it will cost and what has to come out to make room for it. Detached houses off the Common and up the hill run to full architect-drawn kitchens: a large centre island, a separate prep or pantry run, and often a second slab area in a utility or boot room. The rooms take islands of 3.2m and over, and the same block of stone can be carried up the wall behind the hob. Send a few photographs of the run and we will tell you which of those you are dealing with before we come out to Wimbledon Village.
Sliding or folding doors take the whole garden wall, so a long stretch of the room has glass where a wall would otherwise carry the units. A vanity top is where all of that turns up in miniature, with the basin, the tap holes and a splash return crowded into a few hundred millimetres of stone. The aperture is polished because you look straight down into it.
The stair to the lower ground floor has a turn at the bottom and a low soffit above it, and both are measured before anything is nested. Bathrooms in houses this size are big enough for a double vanity, and a top with two basins and several tap holes is a worktop by any other measure. A bathroom over a kitchen has its waste run already decided.
The stock on this patch is Georgian cottage, Large Victorian villa, Arts and Crafts detached and Interwar gated detached. Which of those you have decides most of what follows.
