Working in Salford

We work right across Salford — M3, M5, M6 and 4 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Eccles and Old Trafford.

In a city the size of Salford, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you are planning a wet room in Salford for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. If your Salford bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor.

Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are soft. If that holds for your street in Salford, 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
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
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.

Screen size

A screen of 1200 mm or more keeps spray off the rest of the room in most layouts. In a very small wet room, expect the whole floor to get wet.

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 Salford: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Salford?

Is the water hard in Salford?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Salford?

Building control for Salford 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.

What tiles should I use on a wet room floor?

Use porcelain with a matt or textured, slip-resistant finish. With a linear drain, larger tiles can be laid because the floor falls in one direction; with a centre drain, smaller tiles or mosaic follow the four-way fall more easily, and the extra grout lines add grip. Avoid polished stone or glossy tiles on a wet floor; see bathroom tiling.
