Working in Aston

We work right across Aston — B6, B7 and B19 — and in neighbouring Birmingham and Washwood Heath.

In Aston, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a wet room in a Aston flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts. If you are planning a wet room in Aston for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Supplies across the West Midlands range from soft to hard depending on the source. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Aston. 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
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection

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.

Wet rooms in Aston: questions

Do you cover B6 in Aston?

Do wet rooms leak?

A properly tanked wet room should not leak. When one does, the cause is usually a gap in the membrane at a corner or pipe, a poor drain connection, or a floor that flexes and splits the seal. Leaks in wet rooms are expensive to trace, which is why the floor is stiffened first and the tanking is checked before tiling.
