Working in Wilmslow

We cover every part of Wilmslow, including M90, SK8 and SK9, and nearby Bramhall (3.4 miles) and Cheadle Hulme (3.7 miles).

Homes in and around Wilmslow vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a wet room in a Wilmslow flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts. In a compact Wilmslow bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet.

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 Wilmslow. 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
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
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Wilmslow really free?

Do you cover M90 in Wilmslow?

Yes. We cover all of Wilmslow, including M90, SK8 and SK9, and nearby Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme and Hazel Grove. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What tiles should I use on a wet room floor?

Use porcelain with a matt or textured, slip-resistant finish. With a linear drain, larger tiles can be laid because the floor falls in one direction; with a centre drain, smaller tiles or mosaic follow the four-way fall more easily, and the extra grout lines add grip. Avoid polished stone or glossy tiles on a wet floor; see bathroom tiling.
