Working in Woking

We work right across Woking — GU21 and GU22 — and in neighbouring Chertsey and Weybridge.

Woking has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. Where a Woking shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter. For shower rooms in Woking, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform.

Most of Surrey has hard water. If your supply in Woking is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

Storage

With no bath, there is often space for a full-width vanity unit or a tall cupboard for towels.

Tray size

A 1200 by 800 mm or 1400 by 900 mm tray with a single panel makes a comfortable walk-in. Go as long as the room allows; length does more than width to keep spray inside.

Rules that apply in England

In England, any change to the wiring in the shower room, or a new circuit for an electric shower, is notifiable under Part P. If you are replacing the fan, keep it at least as effective as the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second intermittent for a bathroom.

Shower rooms in Woking: questions

How much should I budget for a shower room in Woking?

A shower room in Woking usually costs £5,000–£10,000 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover GU21 and GU22 in Woking?

Yes. We cover all of Woking, including GU21 and GU22, and nearby Chertsey, Weybridge and Guildford. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Woking?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Woking?

Building control for Woking is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

What is the difference between a shower room and a wet room?

A shower room has a tray, or a shower area with its own screen, and only the shower area is waterproofed. A wet room has a fully tanked floor laid to fall to a drain, so the whole room can get wet. A shower room usually costs less and is quicker to fit. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers compares them.
