Wet rooms in Warwickshire

What should you know before starting in Warwickshire?

This kind of work rarely needs planning permission, but it does have to comply with Building Regulations, and some parts must be certified by a registered installer or signed off by building control. In Warwickshire, building control is provided by the district or borough council for your town or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Upstairs wet rooms on timber floors usually need structural plywood and a preformed former set between the joists.
Building work to adapt a bathroom for a disabled person can be zero-rated for VAT where VAT applies.
Extract fans in a bathroom without an openable window should run on for around 15 minutes after use.

Which option fits your home?

Ground floor on concrete

The existing screed is cut out where the shower sits so the former can be recessed level with the floor, and the waste is connected below the slab. It's dustier work but very solid once complete. Older concrete floors without a damp-proof membrane need extra care before tanking.

Accessible wet room

Designed for wheelchair users or people with limited mobility: a wider door if needed, grab rails fixed into reinforced walls, a fold-down seat, a thermostatic shower, a comfort-height toilet and lever taps. Work like this can sometimes be funded by a council Disabled Facilities Grant, and it may qualify for VAT relief.

How do I book a survey in Warwickshire?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your wet room and arrange a time to visit.

Can a wet room be fitted upstairs?

Yes. On timber floors, we lift the boards, check and strengthen the joists if needed, lay structural plywood and set a shower former between the joists. The waste route needs care, because it must fall to the soil stack without cutting joists beyond safe limits. If that's not possible, a pumped shower drain can be used.

Who approves wet rooms in Warwickshire?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Warwickshire is provided by the district or borough council for your town or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
