Working in Ramsgate

We cover every part of Ramsgate, including CT10, CT11 and CT12, and nearby Broadstairs (1.9 miles) and Margate (3.4 miles).

In Ramsgate, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Ramsgate bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor. For a wet room in a Ramsgate flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts.

Water across much of Kent is very hard. If your supply in Ramsgate 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

Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack

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.

Floor tile

Matt or textured porcelain with good slip resistance. Mosaic gives extra grip on a centre-drain floor because of its many grout lines.

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.

More about wet rooms

Wet rooms in Ramsgate: questions

Is the home survey in Ramsgate really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover CT10 in Ramsgate?

Yes. We cover all of Ramsgate, including CT10, CT11 and CT12, and nearby Broadstairs, Margate and Deal. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What tiles should I use on a wet room floor?

Use porcelain with a matt or textured, slip-resistant finish. With a linear drain, larger tiles can be laid because the floor falls in one direction; with a centre drain, smaller tiles or mosaic follow the four-way fall more easily, and the extra grout lines add grip. Avoid polished stone or glossy tiles on a wet floor; see bathroom tiling.
