Working in Sheffield

As well as Sheffield itself (S1, S2 and S3), we survey in Rotherham, Dronfield and Rawmarsh.

Sheffield is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If your Sheffield bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor. We quote wet rooms in Sheffield only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies.

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 Sheffield. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system

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.

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.

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 the price of a wet room in Sheffield?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Sheffield?

Building control for Sheffield 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 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.
