Working in Kidsgrove

We work right across Kidsgrove — ST7 — and in neighbouring Biddulph and Congleton.

Homes in and around Kidsgrove vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Kidsgrove 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 Kidsgrove for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Most of Staffordshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Kidsgrove. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Wet rooms in Kidsgrove: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Kidsgrove?

A wet room in Kidsgrove usually costs £5,900–£11,750 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the water hard in Kidsgrove?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Kidsgrove?

Building control for Kidsgrove 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.

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 Kidsgrove.

Can you have a wet room on a wooden floor?

Yes. On a timber floor, the former usually sits down between the joists so the finished floor stays level, and the joists may need trimming, strengthening or extra noggins. The floor must be stiff, often with a ply overlay, so it does not flex and crack the tiles or the tanking. We check the joists at the survey before quoting.
