Working in Battersea

We cover every part of Battersea, including SW3, SW8 and SW11, and nearby Chelsea (1.1 miles) and Fulham (1.9 miles).

In Battersea, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If you are planning a wet room in Battersea for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. If your Battersea bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor.

Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Battersea 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 pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex

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.

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.

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 Battersea: questions

Is the home survey in Battersea really free?

Do you cover SW3 in Battersea?

Yes. We cover all of Battersea, including SW3, SW8 and SW11, and nearby Chelsea, Fulham and Brixton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
