Working in Putney

We cover every part of Putney, including SW6, SW15 and SW18, and nearby Fulham (1.6 miles) and Wimbledon (2.7 miles).

In Putney, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Putney home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain. In a compact Putney bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet.

Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Putney 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 thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
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

Decisions to make first

Screen size

A screen of 1200 mm or more keeps spray off the rest of the room in most layouts. In a very small wet room, expect the whole floor to get wet.

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 Putney: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Putney?

Is the water hard in Putney?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Putney?

Building control for Putney 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.

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.
