Wetroom installation in Kingston upon Thames
Fully tanked, level-access wetrooms — designed and built to not leak, with the paperwork to prove it.
Kingston wetrooms divide sharply. In the riverside blocks, leases almost always prohibit cutting the slab and cap floor build-up, so we build level-*feel* wetrooms with ultra-low formers and confirm the lease terms in writing first. In the cottages, shallow sloping joists mean the formed-fall system needs a structural check — sometimes the honest answer is a low-profile tray instead, and we say so. The 1930s semis towards Berrylands are the easy yes: deep joists, square rooms, textbook installs.
The houses we see in Kingston upon Thames
Canbury and Fairfield are flat-fronted Victorian cottages — charming, small, and structurally quirky: out-of-square rooms, shallow joists, bathrooms added into what were bedrooms or extended into the yard. Norbiton and the Berrylands direction are 1930s semis with conventional upstairs bathrooms. The riverside is modern apartment stock from the 1980s to brand new, all leasehold, with communal risers and management processes. Coombe, to the east, is large detached houses with multi-bathroom renovations.
What wetrooms involves
A wetroom in south London costs £7,000–£12,000 excluding VAT and takes two to three weeks. The price gap versus a normal bathroom is the structural work: the floor is opened up to form falls to a drain, and the entire room is tanked — and on the suspended timber floors most south London houses have, that structural stage is what decides whether a wetroom leaks.
This is for you if
- You want a walk-in, screen-free shower with no tray and no step
- The household needs level access now or will in the coming years
- A small or awkward room where a tray and enclosure waste the space
- You have seen wetroom horror stories and want it done properly once
- A loft or basement room where a conventional enclosure will not fit
- You want the whole-room tiled look
What's included
- Floor structure opened and rebuilt with formed falls to a linear drain
- Full-room tanking membrane — floor and walls, not just the shower corner
- Flood test before tiling: we prove it holds water before covering it up
- Large-format tiling with movement joints where the substrate needs them
- Concealed shower valve, fixed head and glass where the design wants it
- Underfloor heating option while the floor is already open
