Wetroom installation in Lewisham
Fully tanked, level-access wetrooms — designed and built to not leak, with the paperwork to prove it.
Lewisham wetrooms cluster in owner-occupied Brockley and on the Corbett Estate, where the Edwardian joists are deep enough to take formed falls without structural drama — and on Corbett houses we already know the joist direction, which shortens the survey. In conversion flats we are more cautious: a wetroom's drainage demand on a shared Victorian stack needs a camera check first, and freeholders who will consent to a bathroom refit sometimes balk at tanked floors, so we get the consent in writing before design money is spent.
The houses we see in Lewisham
Brockley and Ladywell are handsome mid-Victorian terraces and semis, many converted to flats in the 1980s. The Corbett Estate is the standout: 3,000 near-identical Edwardian houses built 1896–1911, so consistent that we know the bathroom, stack position and joist direction before we knock. Hither Green and Catford are later Victorian terraces, heavily rented. The centre's new towers add leasehold apartment stock.
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
