Working in Marlow

We work right across Marlow — SL7 — and in neighbouring Maidenhead and High Wycombe.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Marlow: free survey, written quote, one team. For a wet room in a Marlow flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts. If you are planning a wet room in Marlow for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Water across much of Buckinghamshire is hard. If your supply in Marlow 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 thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection

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.

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.

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 Marlow: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Marlow?

A wet room in Marlow usually costs £6,700–£13,500 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the home survey in Marlow 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 SL7 in Marlow?

Yes. We cover all of Marlow, including SL7, and nearby Maidenhead, High Wycombe and Slough. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Marlow?

Can I have a wet room in a flat?

Often, but check your lease first. Freeholder consent is commonly needed, especially where the drainage or the floor changes, and the risk of a leak into the flat below means the tanking and drain connection must be done with care. Sound insulation in the floor matters too.
