Mayfair

Mayfair's Georgian townhouses, four or five storeys tall around Grosvenor Square, Berkeley Square and Mount Street, still sit largely on the Grosvenor Estate's freehold, and the area is subject to some of the strictest planning controls in London, with Westminster City Council requiring pre-application consultation for most external works.

Many of these townhouses have been converted into flats or offices over the decades, which means a single stack can carry waste and water past several separate occupancies on its way down, and altering it usually needs sign-off from the estate or managing agent as well as the occupier. Older conversions can also mix pipework from different periods on different floors, so we survey the whole run rather than assuming it matches from one floor to the next.

Because these are tall, narrow buildings, getting consistent water pressure and temperature to a bathroom on the top floor is a real design question, not just a fitting choice, and often comes down to how the cylinder and any boost pump are specified. London's hard water and Mayfair's controlled parking and loading restrictions both feed into how we plan and price a job here.
