Why Wet Room Installation Coordination Matters
Wet room installation in London involves precise coordination between drainage, floor gradients, waterproofing, and tiling.
Without proper management, floors aren't screeded to correct slopes, waterproofing applied before drainage installed, and leaks develop months later.
What Our Wet Room Project Management Handles:
Sequences drainage installation before floor screeding begins
Coordinates floor gradients so water flows correctly
Ensures waterproofing applied after drainage, before tiling
Manages plumbers, waterproofers, tilers so work flows properly
Tests waterproofing and drainage thoroughly before final tiling
Proper wet room installation management means drainage works perfectly, waterproofing watertight, and no leaks long-term.

What's involved in wet room installation?
Wet room installation in London includes drainage installation, floor screeding to correct gradients, comprehensive waterproofing (tanking systems on floors and walls), slip-resistant tiling, fixture installation, and thorough water testing. We coordinate plumbers, waterproofing specialists, wet room floor fitters in London, tilers, and electricians throughout the project.
How is wet room waterproofing done?
Wet room waterproofing uses tanking systems applied to floors and walls before tiling. Moisture barriers cover entire wet areas, all joints sealed, corners reinforced. After the tanking is applied, water tests are conducted before any tiling starts. Walk in wet room London installations are fully waterproofed floor-to-ceiling in shower areas.
Can you install wet rooms on timber floors?
Yes. Wet rooms on timber floors require additional structural support, proper drainage installation, and comprehensive waterproofing. We assess floor joists, reinforce if needed, install drainage trays, apply tanking systems, and ensure floors are rigid enough for tiling. Building regulations compliance is checked throughout.
How long does wet room installation take?
Most wet room installation London projects take 1–2 weeks from demolition to completion. Drainage installation takes 1–2 days, floor screeding and drying 2–3 days, waterproofing and testing 2 days, tiling 2–3 days. Larger wet rooms or those requiring structural work take longer.
What's the difference between a wet room and a walk-in shower?
Wet rooms are fully open, level-access shower areas with floor drainage and complete waterproofing. Walk-in showers may have low thresholds, partial enclosures, or glass screens. Both require proper waterproofing and drainage, but wet rooms have no barriers and are fully tiled floor-to-ceiling in shower zones.
