Wet room installation in Rainham: level-access floors, formers, full tanking and tiling. Falls set properly so water goes where it should.
A wet room suits the older Rainham bungalows better than anything else, and on a solid ground floor it is far simpler than working upstairs. The fall and the tanking are decided before anything visible happens, which is exactly why they get skipped.
On the ground floor of a Rainham bungalow the waste for a wet room usually runs under a solid floor, so the drain is placed where the floor can be cut and the fall formed without chasing too deep. Getting that right first is what gives a floor that drains every time.
The fall to the drain is built with a former before anything else. On a solid bungalow floor it can be formed cleanly, with no joists to work around.
Every wall and the whole floor sealed as one system and water-tested before tiling. Near the river, being fussy about this is the only sensible approach.
Nothing to step over from the hallway into the shower. It is the reason most people ask for a wet room in a bungalow in the first place.
Mosaic or small tiles on the shower floor, the only format that can follow a fall running towards the drain from two sides.
The drain positioned where the waste can reach the existing pipe with a proper fall through the solid floor.
Not if it is tanked properly, and near the river that is worth being fussy about. We seal the whole wet area as one system and water-test it before a tile goes down.
Considerably. A solid ground floor around Rainham is the simplest wet room there is, because the fall can be formed without touching joists. It is why they suit older bungalows so well.
Sometimes. Havering Council can help with adaptations for someone with a disability through a Disabled Facilities Grant, assessed by an occupational therapist. Ask the council before booking, because they may need to carry out that assessment first.
Usually under or near the shower head, where most of the water lands, and where the waste can run to the existing pipe with enough fall. On a solid floor the route is checked before the floor is cut.
Yes. A long channel drain against a wall needs the floor to fall one way only, which suits large tiles and a clean look. A round centre drain suits a floor falling from all sides.
