Working in Kingswood

As well as Kingswood itself (BS15, BS16 and GL12), we survey in Mangotsfield, Keynsham and Bishopsworth.

In Kingswood, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are planning a wet room in Kingswood for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. In a compact Kingswood bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet.

Water across much of Gloucestershire is hard. If your supply in Kingswood 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
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall

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.

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.

More about wet rooms

Wet rooms in Kingswood: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Kingswood?

Is the water hard in Kingswood?

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.
