Working in Macclesfield

As well as Macclesfield itself (SK9, SK10 and SK11), we survey in Wilmslow, Bramhall and Congleton.

Homes in and around Macclesfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. In a compact Macclesfield bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. If you are planning a wet room in Macclesfield for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Supplies across most of Cheshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Macclesfield. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection

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.

Is the home survey in Macclesfield really free?

Do you cover SK9 in Macclesfield?

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.
