Working in Oswestry

As well as Oswestry itself (SY11), we survey in Shrewsbury, Wellington and Telford.

Oswestry gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Oswestry bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor. For a wet room in a Oswestry flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts.

Most of Shropshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Oswestry. 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
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
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

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Wet rooms in Oswestry: questions

Is the water hard in Oswestry?

Is a wet room better than a walk-in shower?

A wet room gives a completely level floor and a seamless finish, but costs more because the whole floor is tanked. A walk-in shower uses a low-profile tray and a glass panel, is quicker to fit and costs less. If you need level access, a wet room is the right choice; if you just want an open shower, a walk-in is usually enough. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers goes further.
