Working in Banstead

In Banstead we cover KT17, SM2 and SM7; we also cover Sutton, 1.9 miles away, and Ewell.

In Banstead, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We quote wet rooms in Banstead only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies. In a compact Banstead bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet.

Water across much of Surrey is hard. If your supply in Banstead is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor

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.

Underfloor heating

Electric underfloor heating under the tiles dries the floor quickly after a shower; it is typically £700 to £1,500 for a bathroom.

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.

Is the water hard in Banstead?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Banstead?

Building control for Banstead 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 tiles should I use on a wet room floor?

Use porcelain with a matt or textured, slip-resistant finish. With a linear drain, larger tiles can be laid because the floor falls in one direction; with a centre drain, smaller tiles or mosaic follow the four-way fall more easily, and the extra grout lines add grip. Avoid polished stone or glossy tiles on a wet floor; see bathroom tiling.
