Can you do the plumbing and heating for a full bathroom refurbishment in Edgware?

Yes. We handle the complete plumbing and heating side of a bathroom refurbishment in HA8 — moving soil and waste connections, first and second fix pipework, fitting the sanitaryware and shower, and upgrading the hot water system so the new shower actually performs as it should.

Why is my shower pressure so poor in my Edgware house?

In most Edgware properties it is because the shower is fed from a gravity-fed vented cylinder with a cold tank in the loft, which produces very little pressure on an upstairs bathroom. Converting to a mains-pressure unvented cylinder or an appropriately sized combi transforms it. We will confirm which suits your property and mains flow.

Do you cover Burnt Oak and Queensbury?

Yes. We cover the whole of HA8 including Edgware village, the Broadway, Burnt Oak, Canons Park and the Queensbury and Mill Hill borders.

How long does a bathroom refurbishment take?

A typical Edgware bathroom takes around one to two weeks from strip-out to completion, depending on whether walls are being moved, the soil connection relocated or the hot water system upgraded at the same time. We give you a written programme and keep the rest of the house clean while we work.

Can you combine a new boiler with a bathroom job to save money?

Often yes. If the pipework is already exposed for the bathroom, doing the boiler or cylinder upgrade at the same time avoids paying twice for the same access and making-good. We will tell you honestly whether combining the work saves you money in your particular property.

Looking for a Plumber in Edgware?

1st Avenue Gas Plumbing & Heating Services is a family-run, Gas Safe registered firm based in Bushey, and we have been looking after homes in Edgware and across HA8 for years. Whether you need a new boiler, an annual service, an emergency repair or a full bathroom, you will get an honest price and a job done properly.

Edgware sits just south-east of Stanmore and is comfortably within our regular working area. HA8 is one of the places we are most often asked to combine heating work with a full bathroom refurbishment.

The Homes We Work On in Edgware

Edgware's housing is largely inter-war suburban semis and terraces spreading out from the Broadway, with pockets of larger detached property towards Canons Park and the Mill Hill boundary, and a substantial amount of flatted housing around Burnt Oak and Queensbury. A great many of these homes still have their original bathroom layout — a small separate WC, a bath with an ineffective electric shower over it, and hot water from a vented cylinder that cannot deliver decent pressure. That combination is exactly what we are asked to fix: opening the bathroom and WC into one room, fitting a proper mains-pressure shower, and upgrading the hot water system behind it so the shower actually performs. Doing the plumbing and the heating side of a bathroom refurbishment together avoids the classic problem of a beautiful new bathroom fed by a system that cannot supply it.

We work throughout Edgware, along the Broadway, around Burnt Oak, Canons Park and up towards the Mill Hill border. Because so much HA8 property is flatted or semi-detached, we take particular care with noise, access and shared water supplies — isolating correctly and warning neighbours where a shared stopcock is involved.
