Working in Wellington

As well as Wellington itself (TF1 and TF5), we survey in Telford, Shrewsbury and Stafford.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Wellington: free survey, written quote, one team. In a compact Wellington bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. If you are planning a wet room in Wellington for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Supplies across most of Shropshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Wellington. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall

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.

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.

More about wet rooms

Wet rooms in Wellington: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Wellington?

A wet room in Wellington usually costs £5,900–£11,750 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the water hard in Wellington?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Wellington?

Building control for Wellington 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.

How long does a wet room take?

Allow 5–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Wellington.

Can I have a wet room in a flat?

Often, but check your lease first. Freeholder consent is commonly needed, especially where the drainage or the floor changes, and the risk of a leak into the flat below means the tanking and drain connection must be done with care. Sound insulation in the floor matters too.
