Working in Chesterfield

In Chesterfield we cover S40 and S41; we also cover Staveley, 3 miles away, and Dronfield.

Across a large town like Chesterfield, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Chesterfield 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 Chesterfield for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Most of Derbyshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Chesterfield. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
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.

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.

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 Chesterfield: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Chesterfield?

A wet room in Chesterfield usually costs £5,800–£11,500 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the home survey in Chesterfield 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 S40 and S41 in Chesterfield?

Yes. We cover all of Chesterfield, including S40 and S41, and nearby Staveley, Dronfield and Sheffield. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you have a wet room on a wooden floor?

Yes. On a timber floor, the former usually sits down between the joists so the finished floor stays level, and the joists may need trimming, strengthening or extra noggins. The floor must be stiff, often with a ply overlay, so it does not flex and crack the tiles or the tanking. We check the joists at the survey before quoting.
