Working in Swindon

In Swindon we cover SN1, SN2, SN3 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Calne, 12.7 miles away, and Cirencester.

Swindon is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. For a wet room in a Swindon flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts. If you are planning a wet room in Swindon for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Water across much of Wiltshire is hard. If your supply in Swindon 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

A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
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

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.

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Swindon?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Swindon?

Building control for Swindon 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.

What is tanking in a wet room?

Tanking is the waterproof layer under the tiles that stops water reaching the floor and walls. It is usually a liquid or sheet membrane, with sealing tape at every corner, board joint and pipe. Tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own, so the tanking is what actually keeps the water in.
