Working in Melton Mowbray

We cover every part of Melton Mowbray, including LE13 and LE14, and nearby Oakham (9.4 miles) and Mountsorrel (11.5 miles).

Homes in and around Melton Mowbray vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a wet room in a Melton Mowbray flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts. In a compact Melton Mowbray bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet.

Most of Leicestershire has hard water. If your supply in Melton Mowbray 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

Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall

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.

What is the price of a wet room in Melton Mowbray?

Is the water hard in Melton Mowbray?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Melton Mowbray?

Building control for Melton Mowbray 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.

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.
