Working in Hoddesdon

We work right across Hoddesdon — EN11 — and in neighbouring Ware and Hertford.

In Hoddesdon, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are planning a wet room in Hoddesdon for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. If your Hoddesdon home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

Water across much of Hertfordshire is very hard. If your supply in Hoddesdon 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

A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex

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.

Is the water hard in Hoddesdon?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Hoddesdon?

Building control for Hoddesdon 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.
