Working in St Austell

We cover every part of St Austell, including PL25, and nearby Bodmin (9.2 miles) and Truro (13.5 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in St Austell: free survey, written quote, one team. If your St Austell bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor. If your St Austell 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 St Austell, 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
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover

Decisions to make first

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.

Linear or centre drain

A linear drain along one wall lets the floor fall in a single direction, so large tiles can be laid without awkward cuts. A centre drain needs a four-way fall and suits smaller tiles or mosaic.

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.

Wet rooms in St Austell: questions

What is the price of a wet room in St Austell?

Is the water hard in St Austell?

Who handles building control for a wet room in St Austell?

Building control for St Austell 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 St Austell.

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.
