Working in Wishaw

As well as Wishaw itself (ML2), we survey in Larkhall, Motherwell and Hamilton.

In Wishaw, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In a compact Wishaw bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. For a wet room in a Wishaw flat, the first step is the title deeds, because agreement from the other owners or the factor is often needed before any work starts.

Most of Lanarkshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Wishaw, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, a wet room that alters the drainage, involves structural work to the floor or forms a new bathroom may need a building warrant; a straight refit usually does not. Water fittings must meet the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014.

Wet rooms in Wishaw: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Wishaw?

A wet room in Wishaw usually costs £5,800–£11,500 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the home survey in Wishaw really free?

Is the water hard in Wishaw?

Can I have a wet room in a flat?

Often, but check your title deeds first. Agreement from the other owners or the factor 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.
