Working in Stockton-on-Tees

As well as Stockton-on-Tees itself (TS18, TS19 and TS20), we survey in Billingham, Thornaby-on-Tees and Middlesbrough.

Stockton-on-Tees has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. In a compact Stockton-on-Tees bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. If you are planning a wet room in Stockton-on-Tees for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Supplies across most of County Durham are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Stockton-on-Tees. 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 thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 Stockton-on-Tees: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Stockton-on-Tees?

Is the water hard in Stockton-on-Tees?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Stockton-on-Tees?

Building control for Stockton-on-Tees 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 Stockton-on-Tees.

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.
