Working in Sutton Coldfield

In Sutton Coldfield we cover B72, B73 and B75; we also cover Washwood Heath, 4.6 miles away, and Aldridge.

Sutton Coldfield has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Sutton Coldfield bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor. In a compact Sutton Coldfield bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet.

Hardness differs from one part of the West Midlands to the next. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Sutton Coldfield. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
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.

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.

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.
