Working in Eastwood

In Eastwood we cover DE7, DE75 and NG16; we also cover Ilkeston, 2.1 miles away, and Heanor.

Eastwood gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In a compact Eastwood bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. If your Eastwood home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

Supplies across most of Nottinghamshire are hard. If your supply in Eastwood 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

Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
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

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.

Open or screened

A fully open shower with no glass only works in a larger room, with the basin, WC and towels well away from the spray.

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 Eastwood: questions

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

A wet room in Eastwood 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.

Do you cover DE7 in Eastwood?

Is the water hard in Eastwood?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Eastwood?

Building control for Eastwood 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.

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.
