Working in Castleford

As well as Castleford itself (WF6 and WF10), we survey in Kippax, Pontefract and Lofthouse.

In Castleford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We quote wet rooms in Castleford only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies. If you are planning a wet room in Castleford for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Most of West Yorkshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Castleford, 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.

What the job includes

A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

More about wet rooms

Wet rooms in Castleford: questions

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

A wet room in Castleford usually costs £5,600–£11,250 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the home survey in Castleford 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 WF6 and WF10 in Castleford?

Yes. We cover all of Castleford, including WF6 and WF10, and nearby Kippax, Pontefract and Lofthouse. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Castleford?

Can I have a wet room in a flat?

Often, but check your lease first. Freeholder consent is commonly needed, especially where the drainage or the floor changes, and the risk of a leak into the flat below means the tanking and drain connection must be done with care. Sound insulation in the floor matters too.
