Working in Alton

We work right across Alton — GU34 — and in neighbouring Bordon and Farnham.

Alton gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Alton bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor. If you are planning a wet room in Alton for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Most of Hampshire has hard water. If your supply in Alton is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
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
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.

Is the water hard in Alton?

What is tanking in a wet room?

Tanking is the waterproof layer under the tiles that stops water reaching the floor and walls. It is usually a liquid or sheet membrane, with sealing tape at every corner, board joint and pipe. Tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own, so the tanking is what actually keeps the water in.
