Working in Failsworth

In Failsworth we cover M35, M40 and M43; we also cover Droylsden, 1.9 miles away, and Chadderton.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Failsworth: free survey, written quote, one team. In a compact Failsworth bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. If your Failsworth bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor.

Water across much of Greater Manchester is soft. If that holds for your street in Failsworth, 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

Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor

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.

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.

Wet rooms in Failsworth: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Failsworth?

Is the home survey in Failsworth 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 M35 in Failsworth?

Yes. We cover all of Failsworth, including M35, M40 and M43, and nearby Droylsden, Chadderton and Ashton-under-Lyne. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Failsworth?

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.
