Working in Staveley

In Staveley we cover S43; we also cover Chesterfield, 3 miles away, and Dronfield.

In Staveley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Staveley home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain. We quote wet rooms in Staveley only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies.

Water across much of Derbyshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Staveley. 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
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it

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.

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.

Wet rooms in Staveley: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Staveley?

Is the water hard in Staveley?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Staveley?

Building control for Staveley 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.

What tiles should I use on a wet room floor?

Use porcelain with a matt or textured, slip-resistant finish. With a linear drain, larger tiles can be laid because the floor falls in one direction; with a centre drain, smaller tiles or mosaic follow the four-way fall more easily, and the extra grout lines add grip. Avoid polished stone or glossy tiles on a wet floor; see bathroom tiling.
