Working in Acocks Green

We cover every part of Acocks Green, including B25, B26 and B27, and nearby Shirley (2.7 miles) and Solihull (2.9 miles).

Homes in and around Acocks Green vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are planning a wet room in Acocks Green for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. If your Acocks Green home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

Water hardness varies across the West Midlands: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Acocks Green. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

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
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

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.

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.

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 Acocks Green: questions

How much should I budget for a wet room in Acocks Green?

A wet room in Acocks Green usually costs £5,900–£11,750 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Do you cover B25 in Acocks Green?

Yes. We cover all of Acocks Green, including B25, B26 and B27, and nearby Shirley, Solihull and Washwood Heath. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Acocks Green?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Acocks Green?

Building control for Acocks Green 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.

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.
