Working in Gerrards Cross

We work right across Gerrards Cross — SL9 and UB9 — and in neighbouring Chalfont St Peter and Uxbridge.

Gerrards Cross gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For a wet room in a Gerrards Cross flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts. If your Gerrards Cross home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

Most of Buckinghamshire has hard water. If your supply in Gerrards Cross 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 survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
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
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor

Decisions to make first

Underfloor heating

Electric underfloor heating under the tiles dries the floor quickly after a shower; it is typically £700 to £1,500 for a bathroom.

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.

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.

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.
