Working in Hadleigh

In Hadleigh we cover SS7, SS8 and SS9; we also cover South Benfleet, 2.2 miles away, and Rayleigh.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Hadleigh: free survey, written quote, one team. In a compact Hadleigh bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. If your Hadleigh home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

Water across much of Essex is very hard. If your supply in Hadleigh 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
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling

Decisions to make first

Floor tile

Matt or textured porcelain with good slip resistance. Mosaic gives extra grip on a centre-drain floor because of its many grout lines.

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.

Do you cover SS7 in Hadleigh?

Is a wet room better than a walk-in shower?

A wet room gives a completely level floor and a seamless finish, but costs more because the whole floor is tanked. A walk-in shower uses a low-profile tray and a glass panel, is quicker to fit and costs less. If you need level access, a wet room is the right choice; if you just want an open shower, a walk-in is usually enough. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers goes further.
