Working in Guildford

In Guildford we cover GU1, GU2 and GU4; we also cover Godalming, 3.8 miles away, and Woking.

In Guildford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are planning a wet room in Guildford for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. If your Guildford home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

Water across much of Surrey is hard. If your supply in Guildford 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
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex

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.

Wet rooms in Guildford: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Guildford?

A wet room in Guildford usually costs £6,700–£13,500 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 Guildford 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 GU1 in Guildford?

Yes. We cover all of Guildford, including GU1, GU2 and GU4, and nearby Godalming, Woking and Aldershot. 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.
