Working in Frome

As well as Frome itself (BA11), we survey in Westbury, Warminster and Trowbridge.

Homes in and around Frome vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are planning a wet room in Frome for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. In a compact Frome 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 Somerset are hard. If your supply in Frome 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
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection

Decisions to make first

Underfloor heating

Electric underfloor heating under the tiles dries the floor quickly after a shower; it is typically £700 to £1,500 for a bathroom.

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.

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.
