Working in Truro

As well as Truro itself (TR1), we survey in Falmouth, Redruth and Newquay.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Truro: free survey, written quote, one team. For a wet room in a Truro flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts. We quote wet rooms in Truro only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies.

Supplies across most of Cornwall are soft. If that holds for your street in Truro, 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

Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling

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.

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 Truro: questions

How much should I budget for a wet room in Truro?

Do you cover TR1 in Truro?

Is the water hard in Truro?

Is a wet room better than a walk-in shower?

A wet room gives a completely level floor and a seamless finish, but costs more because the whole floor is tanked. A walk-in shower uses a low-profile tray and a glass panel, is quicker to fit and costs less. If you need level access, a wet room is the right choice; if you just want an open shower, a walk-in is usually enough. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers goes further.
