Working in Lichfield
We work right across Lichfield — WS13 — and in neighbouring Burntwood and Tamworth.
Homes in and around Lichfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are planning a wet room in Lichfield for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. We quote wet rooms in Lichfield only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies.
Supplies across most of Staffordshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Lichfield. 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
- A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
- Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
Decisions to make first
Linear or centre drain
A linear drain along one wall lets the floor fall in a single direction, so large tiles can be laid without awkward cuts. A centre drain needs a four-way fall and suits smaller tiles or mosaic.
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.
