Working in Glossop

In Glossop we cover SK13; we also cover Stalybridge, 5.3 miles away, and Hyde.

Glossop gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Glossop home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain. If you are planning a wet room in Glossop for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Supplies across most of Derbyshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Glossop. 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 pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex

Decisions to make first

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.

Underfloor heating

Electric underfloor heating under the tiles dries the floor quickly after a shower; it is typically £700 to £1,500 for a bathroom.

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 Glossop: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Glossop?

A wet room in Glossop usually costs £5,800–£11,500 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the home survey in Glossop 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 SK13 in Glossop?

Yes. We cover all of Glossop, including SK13, and nearby Stalybridge, Hyde and New Mills. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Glossop?

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.
