Working in Bexley

As well as Bexley itself (DA5, DA6, DA14 and 2 more postcode districts), we survey in Dartford, Swanley and Barking.

London homes in Bexley often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. For a wet room in a Bexley flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts. If you are planning a wet room in Bexley for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Water across much of Greater London is very hard. If your supply in Bexley 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

Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it

Decisions to make first

Linear or centre drain

A linear drain along one wall lets the floor fall in a single direction, so large tiles can be laid without awkward cuts. A centre drain needs a four-way fall and suits smaller tiles or mosaic.

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 Bexley: questions

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

A wet room in Bexley usually costs £7,500–£15,000 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 Bexley?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Bexley?

Building control for Bexley 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 Bexley.

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.
