Working in Stroud

We cover every part of Stroud, including GL5, GL6 and GL10, and nearby Gloucester (8.2 miles) and Cirencester (10 miles).

In Stroud, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Stroud bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor. If your Stroud home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

Most of Gloucestershire has hard water. If your supply in Stroud 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

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
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover

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.

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.

Wet rooms in Stroud: questions

How much should I budget for a wet room in Stroud?

A wet room in Stroud usually costs £6,100–£12,250 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 water hard in Stroud?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Stroud?

Building control for Stroud is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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 Stroud.

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.
