Working in Speke

In Speke we cover L24, L25 and L26; we also cover Halewood, 1.4 miles away, and Hunts Cross.

Speke gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Speke 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 Speke flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts.

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

A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Wet rooms in Speke: questions

Do you cover L24 in Speke?

Do wet rooms leak?

A properly tanked wet room should not leak. When one does, the cause is usually a gap in the membrane at a corner or pipe, a poor drain connection, or a floor that flexes and splits the seal. Leaks in wet rooms are expensive to trace, which is why the floor is stiffened first and the tanking is checked before tiling.
