Working in Ashford

In Ashford we cover TN23 and TN24; we also cover Faversham, 11.6 miles away, and Canterbury.

In Ashford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Ashford home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain. If your Ashford bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor.

Water across much of Kent is very hard. If your supply in Ashford 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 survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor

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.

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.

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 you cover TN23 and TN24 in Ashford?

Yes. We cover all of Ashford, including TN23 and TN24, and nearby Faversham, Canterbury and Folkestone. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
