Working in Worthing

In Worthing we cover BN11, BN12, BN13 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Lancing, 2.4 miles away, and Shoreham-by-Sea.

Across a large town like Worthing, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If you are planning a wet room in Worthing for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. For a wet room in a Worthing flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts.

Supplies across most of West Sussex are hard. If your supply in Worthing 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

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

Decisions to make first

Screen size

A screen of 1200 mm or more keeps spray off the rest of the room in most layouts. In a very small wet room, expect the whole floor to get wet.

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.

Wet rooms in Worthing: questions

How much should I budget for a wet room in Worthing?

A wet room in Worthing usually costs £6,700–£13,500 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.

Is the home survey in Worthing really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover BN11 in Worthing?

Yes. We cover all of Worthing, including BN11, BN12, BN13 and BN14, and nearby Lancing, Shoreham-by-Sea and Portslade. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you have a wet room on a wooden floor?

Yes. On a timber floor, the former usually sits down between the joists so the finished floor stays level, and the joists may need trimming, strengthening or extra noggins. The floor must be stiff, often with a ply overlay, so it does not flex and crack the tiles or the tanking. We check the joists at the survey before quoting.
