Working in Southall

We cover every part of Southall, including UB1, UB2, UB5 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Greenford (1.5 miles) and Heston (1.8 miles).

In Southall, 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 Southall only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies. If your Southall bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor.

Supplies across most of Greater London are very hard. If your supply in Southall 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
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection

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.

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.

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.

More about wet rooms

Wet rooms in Southall: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Southall?

A wet room in Southall 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.

Who handles building control for a wet room in Southall?

Building control for Southall 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 Southall.

Is the home survey in Southall really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Can you have a wet room on a wooden floor?

Yes. On a timber floor, the former usually sits down between the joists so the finished floor stays level, and the joists may need trimming, strengthening or extra noggins. The floor must be stiff, often with a ply overlay, so it does not flex and crack the tiles or the tanking. We check the joists at the survey before quoting.
