Working in Newcastle under Lyme

In Newcastle under Lyme we cover ST5; we also cover Stoke-on-Trent, 2 miles away, and Longton.

Newcastle under Lyme has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. In a compact Newcastle under Lyme bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. If your Newcastle under Lyme home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

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

What the job includes

Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover

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.

More about wet rooms

Wet rooms in Newcastle under Lyme: questions

How much should I budget for a wet room in Newcastle under Lyme?

A wet room in Newcastle under Lyme usually costs £5,900–£11,750 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the home survey in Newcastle under Lyme really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover ST5 in Newcastle under Lyme?

Yes. We cover all of Newcastle under Lyme, including ST5, and nearby Stoke-on-Trent, Longton and Kidsgrove. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
