Working in Saltash

In Saltash we cover PL12; we also cover Plymouth, 4.5 miles away, and Plymstock.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Saltash: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are planning a wet room in Saltash for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. If your Saltash home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

Most of Cornwall is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Saltash, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
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

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 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 Saltash: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Saltash?

A wet room in Saltash usually costs £6,100–£12,250 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Saltash 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 PL12 in Saltash?

Yes. We cover all of Saltash, including PL12, and nearby Plymouth, Plymstock and Bodmin. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Saltash?

Can I have a wet room in a flat?

Often, but check your lease first. Freeholder consent is commonly needed, especially where the drainage or the floor changes, and the risk of a leak into the flat below means the tanking and drain connection must be done with care. Sound insulation in the floor matters too.
