Working in Bebington

We cover every part of Bebington, including CH42, CH62 and CH63, and nearby Birkenhead (3 miles) and Heswall (3.6 miles).

In Bebington, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a wet room in a Bebington flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts. In a compact Bebington bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet.

Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Bebington, 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

Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall

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.

Former or screed

A pre-formed board gives a consistent fall and suits timber floors. A sand and cement screed suits concrete slabs and larger shower areas.

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.
