Working in Heckmondwike

In Heckmondwike we cover WF13, WF15 and WF16; we also cover Liversedge, 0.7 miles away, and Batley.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Heckmondwike: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Heckmondwike bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor. We quote wet rooms in Heckmondwike only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies.

Supplies across most of West Yorkshire are soft. If that holds for your street in Heckmondwike, 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

Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack

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.

Wet rooms in Heckmondwike: questions

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

Is the water hard in Heckmondwike?

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.
