Level-access showering, tanked to last

A wet room turns the whole bathroom — or a section of it — into an open, level-access showering space with no tray and no step. It can make a small Notting Hill bathroom feel larger and more contemporary, and it is a practical answer where step-free access matters. But it only works if it is waterproofed and drained correctly.

The entire floor and the lower walls must be fully tanked, and the floor must be formed with a precise fall to the drain so water cannot sit or escape. In a conversion flat or over a period timber floor, that fall has to be built into the structure, which is detailed work — a poorly executed wet room is a leak into the flat below waiting to happen.

We engineer the tanking and the falls first, then finish the room to your specification — large-format tiling, glass, heating and ventilation — in one contract, so the open space looks effortless and stays dry, with honest budgets in pounds sterling.

What shapes a Notting Hill wet room

A wet room is only as good as its tanking and its falls — the rest is finishing.

01

Fully tanked

The floor and lower walls are completely waterproofed before any tile goes down.

02

Falls to the drain

The floor is formed to a precise fall so water runs to the drain and never sits or escapes.

03

Structure-aware

Over a timber floor or in a flat, the fall is built into the structure — detailed, not improvised.

04

Open and step-free

No tray and no step makes a small room feel larger and provides level access.

Questions clients ask before they start

What is a wet room?

An open, level-access showering space with no tray and no step, where the floor and lower walls are fully tanked and the floor falls to a drain.

Will a wet room leak?

Not when the tanking and falls are engineered correctly. A wet room lives or dies on the waterproofing, which we build before any tiling goes down.

Is a wet room good for a small bathroom?

Often, yes — removing the tray and step makes a compact room feel larger and more open, and provides step-free access.

Can I have one in a conversion flat?

Yes — but over a timber floor or with a neighbour below, the fall has to be built into the structure and the waterproofing detailed carefully. We do exactly that.

What does a wet room cost?

It depends on the waterproofing, drainage and finishes. We give an honest budget band in pounds sterling (GBP) after a survey.
