Working in Boston

As well as Boston itself (PE21), we survey in Spalding, Sleaford and Skegness.

Homes in and around Boston vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Boston home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain. If you are planning a wet room in Boston for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Water across much of Lincolnshire is hard. If your supply in Boston 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

A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
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

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.

Is the water hard in Boston?

Is a wet room better than a walk-in shower?

A wet room gives a completely level floor and a seamless finish, but costs more because the whole floor is tanked. A walk-in shower uses a low-profile tray and a glass panel, is quicker to fit and costs less. If you need level access, a wet room is the right choice; if you just want an open shower, a walk-in is usually enough. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers goes further.
