Bathrooms, Boilers and Air Conditioning in Camden
The three jobs worth getting right in a Camden home, from one firm: bathrooms designed and fitted by one team, boilers sized and flued for flats and the big houses of Hampstead and Highgate, and air conditioning with the planning and noise position worked out first. Fixed price in writing. Call 01462 506 374.

Two Camdens, two kinds of job
On the 2021 census Camden was 86.6% flats and 13.4% houses. The flats are the mansion blocks of West and South Hampstead, the Georgian terraces of Bloomsbury cut into apartments, and the big Victorian houses of Belsize Park and Kentish Town converted three or four ways. The houses are concentrated in Hampstead, Highgate, Dartmouth Park and Primrose Hill, and they are large.
A flat is a job about the stack, the flue route and the lease. A big house is a job about hot water for three bathrooms at once, a ducted system that keeps the walls clean, and a conservation area that cares what the outside looks like. We survey for the building you have.
Very hard
Thames Water across every Camden postcode
Thames Water, and it is hard
Thames Water supplies all of Camden and describes its supply as hard to very hard; its Kentish Town zone has been reported at 263 mg/l. That is why every combi we fit here gets a scale reducer, every bathroom gets valves with replaceable cartridges, and the Hampstead houses get a conversation about a softener.
From the first call to the last day
The call
Answered by a person, every day. Give us the postcode, the job and whether it is a flat or a house, and we will tell you what the survey needs to look at.
The survey
Lease, managing agent, Article 4, noise, parking, stack, flue, mains flow, whichever apply. Then an itemised price, fixed in writing.
The job
One crew, one name to ring, and our own work guaranteed in writing when we leave.
Camden parking is booked, not hoped for. A trade permit is £51.86 a day and covers resident bays and single yellow lines, a bay suspension is £66.66 to arrange plus £54.68 a day, and a skip licence is £71.50 for two weeks or £103.68 for four. We book it, price it into the quote and show it as its own line.
Conservation areas are the brief, not the obstacle
Camden has 40 conservation areas covering about half the borough, and Article 4 directions in Hampstead, Belsize, Primrose Hill, Dartmouth Park, South Hampstead, South Hill Park, Redington and Frognal, and Fitzjohns Netherhall that remove the usual permitted development rights for the outside of a building. Nearly 2,000 entries on the heritage list sit inside them. A flue terminal, a soil pipe or an air conditioning unit on those streets is planned before it is quoted, and we prepare the paperwork where the council wants it.

Frequently asked questions
Which parts of Camden do you cover?
All of it, from Hampstead, Belsize Park and Primrose Hill through Kentish Town, Gospel Oak and Camden Town to Bloomsbury and King’s Cross. Highgate is split between three boroughs and we cover every side of it.
Is it just bathrooms, boilers and air conditioning in Camden?
Yes. Those are the three where surveying properly and sending one team changes the result, so those are the three we bring into Camden. Closer to Stevenage we do the whole trade, and that is on our plumbing page.
Most of Camden is flats. Does that change the job?
Yes, and we plan for it. Camden was 87% flats on the 2021 census. That means shared soil stacks, boiler flues that have to find an outside wall, outdoor units that need the freeholder’s agreement and pipe runs through common parts. We survey the lease and the building, not just the room.
Do you work in conservation areas and listed buildings?
Most weeks. Camden has 40 conservation areas covering about half the borough and has removed the usual permitted development rights in eight of them. Internal work is usually straightforward. Anything on the outside is checked against the council’s rules before we quote.
How long is your work guaranteed for?
Bathroom installations two years, boilers and air conditioning twelve months, all on our own workmanship, and the manufacturers add their own: up to twelve years on a boiler that is serviced annually.
Nearby: Islington, Barnet, Enfield, all of North London.
