Working in Walthamstow

As well as Walthamstow itself (E4, E10, E11 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Leytonstone, Tottenham and Stamford Hill.

In Walthamstow, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. In a compact Walthamstow bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. For a wet room in a Walthamstow flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts.

Supplies across most of Greater London are very hard. If your supply in Walthamstow 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
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
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

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Walthamstow really free?

Do you cover E4 in Walthamstow?

Yes. We cover all of Walthamstow, including E4, E10, E11 and E17, and nearby Leytonstone, Tottenham and Stamford Hill. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
