Working in Chorley

We work right across Chorley — PR6 and PR7 — and in neighbouring Horwich and Leyland.

Homes in and around Chorley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We quote wet rooms in Chorley only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies. If you are planning a wet room in Chorley for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Supplies across most of Lancashire are soft. If that holds for your street in Chorley, 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

Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
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

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Chorley?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Chorley?

Building control for Chorley 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.
