Working in Grimsby

As well as Grimsby itself (DN31, DN32 and DN34), we survey in Cleethorpes, Louth and Kingston upon Hull.

Across a large town like Grimsby, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Grimsby home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain. For a wet room in a Grimsby flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts.

Supplies across most of Lincolnshire are hard. If your supply in Grimsby 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

Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
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

Linear or centre drain

A linear drain along one wall lets the floor fall in a single direction, so large tiles can be laid without awkward cuts. A centre drain needs a four-way fall and suits smaller tiles or mosaic.

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.

More about wet rooms

Wet rooms in Grimsby: questions

How much should I budget for a wet room in Grimsby?

A wet room in Grimsby usually costs £5,800–£11,500 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.

How long does a wet room take?

Allow 5–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Grimsby.

Is the home survey in Grimsby 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 DN31 in Grimsby?

Yes. We cover all of Grimsby, including DN31, DN32 and DN34, and nearby Cleethorpes, Louth and Kingston upon Hull. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you have a wet room on a wooden floor?

Yes. On a timber floor, the former usually sits down between the joists so the finished floor stays level, and the joists may need trimming, strengthening or extra noggins. The floor must be stiff, often with a ply overlay, so it does not flex and crack the tiles or the tanking. We check the joists at the survey before quoting.
