Wetroom installation in Wandsworth

The houses we see in Wandsworth

The Tonsleys are 1850s–1870s two-up-two-downs where the bathroom is nearly always in the back addition — small, single-skin walls, external stack, minimal floor void. Southfields' Edwardian grid has proper first-floor bathrooms and generous structure. Earlsfield is heavily converted to flats, where bathrooms sit on split supplies with sub-metering and shared stacks. The riverside developments are new-build leasehold with concierge processes and no-cut slabs.

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

The standard we work to

Tanked to BS 8000-0 waterproofing practice with a manufacturer-backed membrane system; drainage falls and ventilation to Building Regulations.
