Working in Darton

We work right across Darton — S71 and S75 — and in neighbouring Barnsley and Wakefield.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Darton: free survey, written quote, one team. In a compact Darton 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 Darton for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

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

What the job includes

Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.
