Working in Stratford

We work right across Stratford — E7, E12 and E15 — and in neighbouring Bow and Canning Town.

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

Supplies across most of Greater London are very hard. If your supply in Stratford 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

Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it

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.

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.

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 Stratford?

What tiles should I use on a wet room floor?

Use porcelain with a matt or textured, slip-resistant finish. With a linear drain, larger tiles can be laid because the floor falls in one direction; with a centre drain, smaller tiles or mosaic follow the four-way fall more easily, and the extra grout lines add grip. Avoid polished stone or glossy tiles on a wet floor; see bathroom tiling.
