Working in Kippax

We work right across Kippax — LS25, LS26 and WF10 — and in neighbouring Castleford and Pontefract.

Kippax gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Kippax bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor. We quote wet rooms in Kippax only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies.

Most of West Yorkshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Kippax, 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
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor

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.

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 Kippax: questions

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

A wet room in Kippax usually costs £5,600–£11,250 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover LS25 in Kippax?

Is the water hard in Kippax?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Kippax?

Building control for Kippax is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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.
