Which towns do we cover in West Yorkshire?

Most of West Yorkshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Leeds, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. If you are planning a wet room in Leeds for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

What the job includes

Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
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
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
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

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.

Floor tile

Matt or textured porcelain with good slip resistance. Mosaic gives extra grip on a centre-drain floor because of its many grout lines.

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.

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

A wet room inside an existing home does not need planning permission. In a flat, check the lease: freeholder consent is often needed, and both the leak risk and the sound insulation to the flat below matter. Electrics must meet BS 7671, with 30 mA RCD protection, at least IPX4 fittings in zone 1 up to 2.25 m above the shower floor, IPX5 where water jets are used, and no ordinary sockets within 3 m of zone 1.

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 West Yorkshire?

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.
