Working in High Wycombe

In High Wycombe we cover HP11, HP12 and HP13; we also cover Marlow, 4.3 miles away, and Amersham.

High Wycombe has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your High Wycombe 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 High Wycombe only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies.

Most of Buckinghamshire has hard water. If your supply in High Wycombe 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 frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
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

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.

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 High Wycombe: questions

What is the price of a wet room in High Wycombe?

A wet room in High Wycombe usually costs £6,700–£13,500 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

How long does a wet room take?

Is the home survey in High Wycombe 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 HP11 in High Wycombe?

Yes. We cover all of High Wycombe, including HP11, HP12 and HP13, and nearby Marlow, Amersham and Amersham on the Hill. 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.
