Working in Chapeltown

We work right across Chapeltown — S5, S35 and S74 — and in neighbouring Hoyland Nether and Wombwell.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Chapeltown: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Chapeltown home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain. If you are planning a wet room in Chapeltown for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Water across much of South Yorkshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Chapeltown. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection

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.

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.

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 Chapeltown?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Chapeltown?

Building control for Chapeltown 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 tiles should I use on a wet room floor?

Use porcelain with a matt or textured, slip-resistant finish. With a linear drain, larger tiles can be laid because the floor falls in one direction; with a centre drain, smaller tiles or mosaic follow the four-way fall more easily, and the extra grout lines add grip. Avoid polished stone or glossy tiles on a wet floor; see bathroom tiling.
