Wet room installation in Hornchurch: level-access floors, formers, full tanking and tiling. Falls set properly so water goes where it should.
The floor is shaped to the drain with a proper former rather than screed laid by eye. The generous Hornchurch bathrooms leave room to keep the fall gentle and even.
Upstairs on timber joists, the whole floor and every wall junction is sealed as one continuous system and flood-tested before any tile goes down.
The floor runs flat from the door into the shower with no step or tray edge, which is what makes it safe for anyone unsteady on their feet.
Small tiles or mosaic on the shower floor, because the fall runs two ways and only small pieces can follow it without edges catching.
A fixed screen placed to keep spray inside the wet area, with the fall extended far enough to catch what escapes.
An extractor fan strong enough to clear the steam and dry the room, vented to outside.
Hornchurch bathrooms are generous by modern standards, which makes them the easiest houses around here to turn into a proper wet room without it feeling cramped. Upstairs on timber joists the floor is what decides how straightforward it is.
Even in the generous Hornchurch bathrooms a wet room needs a way to stop water reaching the rest of the room, which usually means a fixed glass screen and a floor that falls toward the drain from well beyond the shower head. Ventilation matters too, because a wet room stays damp longer than a bathroom with a tray.

Not when it is tanked as a complete system and flood-tested before tiling. In the interwar Hornchurch houses the wet room is nearly always upstairs on timber, so the testing matters more here than anywhere.
The generous Emerson Park bathrooms take one comfortably. The limit is the joist depth, because the fall has to be formed within the floor - we check that before quoting rather than after.
Usually a week to ten days in a Hornchurch bathroom, because the tanking has to cure and be flood-tested before tiling starts. That waiting time is the part that stops leaks, so it is not skipped.
In most bathrooms, yes. Without one, water spreads across the whole floor and onto the toilet and basin. A fixed screen keeps the spray in and still leaves the room open and step-free.
The whole floor gets wet, not just a tray, so there is more moisture to clear. A properly sized fan vented outside dries the room between showers and keeps mould away.
