Working in Poole

We cover every part of Poole, including BH12, BH13, BH14 and 3 more postcode districts, and nearby Bournemouth (4.6 miles) and Ferndown (7.4 miles).

Poole has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. We quote wet rooms in Poole only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies. If you are planning a wet room in Poole for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Most of Dorset has hard water. If your supply in Poole is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. 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
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system

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.

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.

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 Poole: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Poole?

A wet room in Poole usually costs £6,100–£12,250 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

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 Poole.

Is the home survey in Poole 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 BH12 in Poole?

Yes. We cover all of Poole, including BH12, BH13, BH14, BH15 and 2 more postcode districts, and nearby Bournemouth, Ferndown and Christchurch. 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.
