Working in Leyland

We cover every part of Leyland, including PR25 and PR26, and nearby Chorley (4.4 miles) and Preston (4.5 miles).

In Leyland, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We quote wet rooms in Leyland only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies. If your Leyland bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor.

Most of Lancashire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Leyland, 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
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it

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.

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.

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 Leyland: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Leyland?

A wet room in Leyland usually costs £5,600–£11,250 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Leyland 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 PR25 and PR26 in Leyland?

Yes. We cover all of Leyland, including PR25 and PR26, and nearby Chorley, Preston and Horwich. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Leyland?

Can I have a wet room in a flat?

Often, but check your lease first. Freeholder consent 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.
