Working in Trowbridge

We cover every part of Trowbridge, including BA14, and nearby Westbury (4.2 miles) and Melksham (4.8 miles).

In Trowbridge, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Trowbridge home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain. If your Trowbridge bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor.

Water across much of Wiltshire is hard. If your supply in Trowbridge 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 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
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex

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.

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.

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.

Who handles building control for a wet room in Trowbridge?

Building control for Trowbridge 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.

How long does a wet room take?

Allow 5–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Trowbridge.

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.
