Working in Hounslow

We work right across Hounslow — TW3, TW4, TW5 and 5 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Isleworth and Heston.

In Hounslow, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. We quote wet rooms in Hounslow only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies. In a compact Hounslow 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 Greater London is very hard. If your supply in Hounslow 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
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Hounslow?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Hounslow?

Building control for Hounslow 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.

What is tanking in a wet room?

Tanking is the waterproof layer under the tiles that stops water reaching the floor and walls. It is usually a liquid or sheet membrane, with sealing tape at every corner, board joint and pipe. Tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own, so the tanking is what actually keeps the water in.
