Working in Bury

In Bury we cover BL8, BL9, M25 and 2 more postcode districts; we also cover Radcliffe, 2.8 miles away, and Heywood.

Homes in and around Bury vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are planning a wet room in Bury for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. If your Bury home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Bury, 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

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
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex

Decisions to make first

Underfloor heating

Electric underfloor heating under the tiles dries the floor quickly after a shower; it is typically £700 to £1,500 for a bathroom.

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.

Is the water hard in Bury?

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.
