Commercial Washrooms in London Bridge — what businesses typically need

Commercial Washrooms across London Bridge (SE1) is delivered by our in-house commercial team with current estate approvals and compliance records on file. We have completed works in or adjacent to The Shard, The News Building, More London Place 1–6, Blue Fin Building, Palestra among others. Teams mobilise from our London operations base, with direct transport links via London Bridge (Northern, Jubilee + National Rail + Thameslink), Borough (Northern), Bermondsey (Jubilee), Waterloo (Bakerloo, Jubilee, Northern, Waterloo & City + National Rail). Every project is run by a named project manager reporting weekly with photographs and programme RAG. Out-of-hours loading, estate permit-to-work and managing-agent liaison are included in the prelims — not charged as variations.

The London Bridge market is dominated by professional services (big four, pwc, ey), legal (norton rose fulbright, kirkland & ellis), consulting (accenture, deloitte digital), each with distinct commercial washrooms requirements — programme compression, landlord co-ordination, out-of-hours delivery, and full compliance ownership. Our commercial team has delivered commercial washrooms in trophy buildings including The Shard, The News Building, More London Place 1–6, Blue Fin Building.

SE1 spans the Shard (professional services, consulting, hospitality HQ), the More London estate (Ernst & Young, PwC, Norton Rose Fulbright), Bankside (Blue Fin, Palestra, government departments) and emerging Borough Market / Bermondsey Street (media, tech, design).

Our commercial delivery model

Southwark permits 08:00–18:00 Mon–Fri and 08:00–13:00 Sat for noisy works. The Shard imposes additional lift-booking windows and out-of-hours work restrictions on occupied floors. The Shard service yard accommodates large-scale fit-out but bookings are tight — typical lead time 5 days. More London service road operates 24/7 but with estate-management permits. Bankside benefits from wider loading flexibility.

FAQs — Commercial Washrooms in London Bridge

How long does a typical washroom refurbishment take?

A standard 4-cubicle washroom: 2–3 weeks. A full floor of male/female/accessible cores: 5–8 weeks. Phased across multiple floors: 6–12 weeks to keep capacity.

Can you keep washroom provision during works?

Yes — we sequence floor-by-floor, taking single cores offline at a time with clear signage to alternative provision. Critical for buildings where BCO minimum sanitary provision must be maintained.

Do you handle Part M accessible WC upgrades?

Yes — full BS 8300 / Part M compliant accessible WC layouts with correct door width, transfer space, grab rails, alarm, and emergency egress.

What fittings brands do you install?

Do you work in the Shard?

Yes — we are approved with Shard Quarter / Sellar for CAT B fit-out and reactive repairs. Lift and service-yard bookings made via Shard tenant services.

How does More London estate approval work?

More London (St Martins) operates a vetted contractor scheme with annual compliance renewal — CSCS, insurance, CDM, and estate-specific induction. We hold up-to-date approvals.

Is Bankside quicker to deliver than More London?

What's typical CAT B cost in SE1?

Standard CAT B: £110–£170 per sqft. Shard and More London: £140–£220 per sqft due to loading and OoH premium. Bankside: £100–£150 per sqft for mid-tier stock.
