Working in Middleton

In Middleton we cover M24; we also cover Chadderton, 2.5 miles away, and Heywood.

Homes in and around Middleton vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. In a compact Middleton bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. We quote wet rooms in Middleton only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies.

Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are soft. If that holds for your street in Middleton, 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
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling

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.

Linear or centre drain

A linear drain along one wall lets the floor fall in a single direction, so large tiles can be laid without awkward cuts. A centre drain needs a four-way fall and suits smaller tiles or mosaic.

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.

Who handles building control for a wet room in Middleton?

Building control for Middleton is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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.
