Working in Hawarden

We cover every part of Hawarden, including CH5, and nearby Deeside (1.2 miles) and Buckley (2.7 miles).

In Hawarden, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Hawarden bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor. If you are planning a wet room in Hawarden for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

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 Hawarden. 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
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Hawarden 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 CH5 in Hawarden?

Yes. We cover all of Hawarden, including CH5, and nearby Deeside, Buckley and Flint. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
