Working in Rickmansworth

We work right across Rickmansworth — HA6, WD3 and WD18 — and in neighbouring Watford and Chalfont St Peter.

Homes in and around Rickmansworth vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are planning a wet room in Rickmansworth for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. If your Rickmansworth 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 Rickmansworth 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
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
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.

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.

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.
