Working in Kingswinford

In Kingswinford we cover DY5, DY6 and DY8; we also cover Brierley Hill, 2.3 miles away, and Stourbridge.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Kingswinford: free survey, written quote, one team. For a wet room in a Kingswinford flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts. In a compact Kingswinford bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet.

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 Kingswinford. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor

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.

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 water hard in Kingswinford?

What tiles should I use on a wet room floor?

Use porcelain with a matt or textured, slip-resistant finish. With a linear drain, larger tiles can be laid because the floor falls in one direction; with a centre drain, smaller tiles or mosaic follow the four-way fall more easily, and the extra grout lines add grip. Avoid polished stone or glossy tiles on a wet floor; see bathroom tiling.
