Working in Lytham St Annes

We cover every part of Lytham St Annes, including FY4 and FY8, and nearby Blackpool (5.6 miles) and Poulton-le-Fylde (6.3 miles).

Homes in and around Lytham St Annes vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a wet room in a Lytham St Annes flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts. If your Lytham St Annes home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

Supplies across most of Lancashire are soft. If that holds for your street in Lytham St Annes, 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
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

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.
