Working in Huntingdon

As well as Huntingdon itself (PE29), we survey in St Ives, St Neots and Cambridge.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Huntingdon: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Huntingdon bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor. In a compact Huntingdon bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet.

Most of Cambridgeshire has very hard water. If your supply in Huntingdon 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

Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

More about wet rooms

Wet rooms in Huntingdon: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Huntingdon?

A wet room in Huntingdon usually costs £6,400–£12,750 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.

Who handles building control for a wet room in Huntingdon?

Building control for Huntingdon 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 Huntingdon.

Is the home survey in Huntingdon 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 wet rooms leak?

A properly tanked wet room should not leak. When one does, the cause is usually a gap in the membrane at a corner or pipe, a poor drain connection, or a floor that flexes and splits the seal. Leaks in wet rooms are expensive to trace, which is why the floor is stiffened first and the tanking is checked before tiling.
