If you are planning a wet room in Wath upon Dearne for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. In a compact Wath upon Dearne 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 South Yorkshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Wath upon Dearne. 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
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex

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.

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.

Who handles building control for a wet room in Wath upon Dearne?

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 Wath upon Dearne.

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.
