Microcement Bathroom in Islington
N1 · EC1 · A501 Upper Street · 10 minutes from the City via the A501
A microcement bathroom is a fully tanked wet-room in disguise — cementitious waterproofing membrane beneath, mineral microcement above, hospitality-grade sealer on top. No grout, no silicone, one continuous surface. Our Islington pipeline is anchored by Victorian terraced stock stretching across the postcode, with additional work in the surrounding villages. We also see a steady share of generous period townhouses in the conservation area. Our typical client here is a homeowner with a family — programmes are planned around the school holidays and daily household use. Islington sits on the A501 Upper Street, 10 minutes from the city via the a501. From here we cover Barnsbury (0.7 mi) and Angel (0.3 mi) and out to Highbury (1 mi) inside our standard service radius. Microcement wet-rooms and bathrooms come through regularly.

Is the wet-room really waterproof?+
Yes — beneath the microcement finish sits a cementitious tanking layer with reinforcement tape at every corner and junction. This has been the EU-standard wet-room spec for 25+ years. Our Islington wet-room installations carry a 10-year materials and workmanship warranty.
Can you re-do a small en-suite in Islington without a full strip-out?+
Sometimes — if the existing tiles are sound and flat we can overlay a bonded backer and take the microcement over that. Where tiles are moving or cracked we recommend a full strip and re-tank. We tell you honestly at the survey.
How is grouting handled — is there any?+
None — that's the whole point of a microcement wet-room. No grout lines, no silicone joints, one continuous surface across floor and walls with a hospitality-grade sealer finish.
