Working in Farnham

In Farnham we cover GU9 and GU10; we also cover Aldershot, 2.8 miles away, and Fleet.

In Farnham, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In a compact Farnham bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. If you are planning a wet room in Farnham for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Water across much of Surrey is hard. If your supply in Farnham 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

A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it

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.

Is the home survey in Farnham 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.

Yes. We cover all of Farnham, including GU9 and GU10, and nearby Aldershot, Fleet and Farnborough. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Farnham?

Can I have a wet room in a flat?

Often, but check your lease first. Freeholder consent is commonly needed, especially where the drainage or the floor changes, and the risk of a leak into the flat below means the tanking and drain connection must be done with care. Sound insulation in the floor matters too.
