Working in Leatherhead

As well as Leatherhead itself (KT21 and KT22), we survey in Epsom, Cobham and Dorking.

In Leatherhead, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Leatherhead bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor. We quote wet rooms in Leatherhead only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies.

Water across much of Surrey is hard. If your supply in Leatherhead 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 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
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling

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.

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.

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 Leatherhead really free?

Do you cover KT21 and KT22 in Leatherhead?

Yes. We cover all of Leatherhead, including KT21 and KT22, and nearby Epsom, Cobham and Dorking. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What is tanking in a wet room?

Tanking is the waterproof layer under the tiles that stops water reaching the floor and walls. It is usually a liquid or sheet membrane, with sealing tape at every corner, board joint and pipe. Tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own, so the tanking is what actually keeps the water in.
