Working in Bishopsworth

We cover every part of Bishopsworth, including BS3, BS13 and BS41, and nearby Keynsham (5.3 miles) and Kingswood (5.5 miles).

Bishopsworth gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Bishopsworth home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain. We quote wet rooms in Bishopsworth only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies.

Most of Bristol has hard water. If your supply in Bishopsworth 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

A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover

Decisions to make first

Linear or centre drain

A linear drain along one wall lets the floor fall in a single direction, so large tiles can be laid without awkward cuts. A centre drain needs a four-way fall and suits smaller tiles or mosaic.

Floor tile

Matt or textured porcelain with good slip resistance. Mosaic gives extra grip on a centre-drain floor because of its many grout lines.

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.

Is the water hard in Bishopsworth?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Bishopsworth?

Building control for Bishopsworth 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 tanking in a wet room?

Tanking is the waterproof layer under the tiles that stops water reaching the floor and walls. It is usually a liquid or sheet membrane, with sealing tape at every corner, board joint and pipe. Tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own, so the tanking is what actually keeps the water in.
