Working in Ross on Wye

We work right across Ross on Wye — HR9 — and in neighbouring Ledbury and Hereford.

Ross on Wye gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are planning a wet room in Ross on Wye for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. If your Ross on Wye home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

Water across much of Herefordshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Ross on Wye. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Ross on Wye: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Ross on Wye?

Is the water hard in Ross on Wye?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Ross on Wye?

Building control for Ross on Wye 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.

How long does a wet room take?

Allow 5–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Ross on Wye.

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.
