Working in Long Eaton

As well as Long Eaton itself (DE72, NG9 and NG10), we survey in Ilkeston, Nottingham and West Bridgford.

In Long Eaton, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a wet room in a Long Eaton flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts. If your Long Eaton home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

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 Long Eaton. 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
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Who handles building control for a wet room in Long Eaton?

Building control for Long Eaton 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 Long Eaton.

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.
