Working in Flint

We work right across Flint — CH6 — and in neighbouring Deeside and Buckley.

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

Water across much of Clwyd is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Flint. 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
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
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.

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 Wales

In Wales, Part H covers new drainage and the Welsh Part F sets similar extract rates. The Welsh Part P makes more electrical work notifiable than in England, so the electrician should notify and certify the work.

Wet rooms in Flint: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Flint?

A wet room in Flint usually costs £5,600–£11,250 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 Flint?

Building control for Flint 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 Flint.

Is the home survey in Flint 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.
