Working in Pitsea

We cover every part of Pitsea, including SS13, SS14 and SS16, and nearby Basildon (2.2 miles) and South Benfleet (2.3 miles).

In Pitsea, 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 Pitsea flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts. We quote wet rooms in Pitsea only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies.

Supplies across most of Essex are very hard. If your supply in Pitsea 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 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 survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
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.

Wet rooms in Pitsea: questions

Do you cover SS13 in Pitsea?

Do wet rooms leak?

A properly tanked wet room should not leak. When one does, the cause is usually a gap in the membrane at a corner or pipe, a poor drain connection, or a floor that flexes and splits the seal. Leaks in wet rooms are expensive to trace, which is why the floor is stiffened first and the tanking is checked before tiling.
