Working in Oakham

We cover every part of Oakham, including LE15, and nearby Melton Mowbray (9.4 miles) and Stamford (10.5 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Oakham: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Oakham home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain. In a compact Oakham bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet.

Supplies across most of Rutland are hard. If your supply in Oakham 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 pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover

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.

Is the water hard in Oakham?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Oakham?

Building control for Oakham 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.

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.
