Accessible Wet Room Installation FAQs — Leek
- What's the difference between a wet room and a shower room?
- A wet room has a fully tanked, falls-graded floor with no tray — the whole floor is the drainage zone. A shower room uses a separate tray inside a cubicle.
- Are wet rooms safe for older users in Leek?
- When fitted to spec, yes. We use R10/R11 slip-rated tile or sheet vinyl with welded seams, plus grab rails where requested. Level access removes the trip hazard of a tray lip.
- Can I claim a wet room on a DFG in Leek?
- Possibly — DFGs are administered by Stoke-on-Trent City Council or Staffordshire authorities. We'll work to whatever spec the OT or grant requires.
- How long does a wet room install take?
- Most Leek wet rooms run 7–10 working days including tanking cure time, tiling and silicone.
- Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Leek home liveable while the work runs.
- Is a wet-room safe over a habitable room?
- Yes if tanked properly to BS 5385-4. We membrane every joint and turn it up the walls before tiling, so an upstairs wet-room in a Leek home doesn't risk the ceiling below.
