Working in Ashton in Makerfield

We cover every part of Ashton in Makerfield, including WA11, WA12 and WN4, and nearby Haydock (1.7 miles) and Golborne (2.2 miles).

Homes in and around Ashton in Makerfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a wet room in a Ashton in Makerfield flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts. In a compact Ashton in Makerfield bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet.

Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Ashton in Makerfield, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
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
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex

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.

Wet rooms in Ashton in Makerfield: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Ashton in Makerfield?

Is the home survey in Ashton in Makerfield 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.

Do you cover WA11 in Ashton in Makerfield?

Yes. We cover all of Ashton in Makerfield, including WA11, WA12 and WN4, and nearby Haydock, Golborne and Newton-le-Willows. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
