Working in Eccles

As well as Eccles itself (M6, M17 and M30), we survey in Swinton, Salford and Stretford.

In Eccles, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Eccles bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor. We quote wet rooms in Eccles only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies.

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

Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex

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.

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.

Wet rooms in Eccles: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Eccles?

Is the home survey in Eccles 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 M6 in Eccles?

Yes. We cover all of Eccles, including M6, M17 and M30, and nearby Swinton, Salford and Stretford. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do wet rooms leak?

A properly tanked wet room should not leak. When one does, the cause is usually a gap in the membrane at a corner or pipe, a poor drain connection, or a floor that flexes and splits the seal. Leaks in wet rooms are expensive to trace, which is why the floor is stiffened first and the tanking is checked before tiling.
