Working in Crowborough

We work right across Crowborough — TN6 — and in neighbouring Tunbridge Wells and Uckfield.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Crowborough: free survey, written quote, one team. For a wet room in a Crowborough flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts. If your Crowborough bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor.

Supplies across most of East Sussex are hard. If your supply in Crowborough 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 survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
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

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.

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.

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 Crowborough: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Crowborough?

A wet room in Crowborough usually costs £6,700–£13,500 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the home survey in Crowborough really free?

Do you cover TN6 in Crowborough?

Yes. We cover all of Crowborough, including TN6, and nearby Tunbridge Wells, Uckfield and East Grinstead. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Crowborough?

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.
