Working in Slough

As well as Slough itself (SL1, SL2 and SL3), we survey in Windsor, Maidenhead and Gerrards Cross.

Slough has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. In a compact Slough bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. For a wet room in a Slough flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts.

Water across much of Berkshire is hard. If your supply in Slough 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

Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack

Decisions to make first

Open or screened

A fully open shower with no glass only works in a larger room, with the basin, WC and towels well away from the spray.

Screen size

A screen of 1200 mm or more keeps spray off the rest of the room in most layouts. In a very small wet room, expect the whole floor to get wet.

Rules that apply in England

In England, a new drain connection or changes at the soil stack can be building-regulations work under Part H, and new circuits or changes to the wiring in the room are notifiable under Part P. If the wet room is a newly formed bathroom, Approved Document F requires extract of 15 litres per second intermittent or 8 litres per second continuous.

More about wet rooms

Wet rooms in Slough: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Slough?

A wet room in Slough usually costs £6,700–£13,500 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.

How long does a wet room take?

Allow 5–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Slough.

Is the home survey in Slough really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover SL1 in Slough?

Yes. We cover all of Slough, including SL1, SL2 and SL3, and nearby Windsor, Maidenhead and Gerrards Cross. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you have a wet room on a wooden floor?

Yes. On a timber floor, the former usually sits down between the joists so the finished floor stays level, and the joists may need trimming, strengthening or extra noggins. The floor must be stiff, often with a ply overlay, so it does not flex and crack the tiles or the tanking. We check the joists at the survey before quoting.
