Working in Chalfont St Peter

We work right across Chalfont St Peter — SL9 — and in neighbouring Gerrards Cross and Rickmansworth.

Chalfont St Peter gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In a compact Chalfont St Peter bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. If your Chalfont St Peter bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor.

Most of Buckinghamshire has hard water. If your supply in Chalfont St Peter 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

Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system

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.

Former or screed

A pre-formed board gives a consistent fall and suits timber floors. A sand and cement screed suits concrete slabs and larger shower areas.

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 Chalfont St Peter: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Chalfont St Peter?

Is the water hard in Chalfont St Peter?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Chalfont St Peter?

Building control for Chalfont St Peter 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.

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 Chalfont St Peter.

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.
