Steam Room & Sauna in Dorking
Steam room and sauna installation covers building a bespoke steam or sauna enclosure within a property — including waterproofing, ventilation, seating and either a steam generator (for a steam room) or a sauna heater — designed around the specific space and specification rather than supplied as an off-the-shelf unit.
In Dorking, that covers Westcott, Milton Heath, Pixham, Ranmore, North Holmwood, Betchworth. Dorking is a historic market town at the foot of Box Hill and the North Downs, within the Surrey Hills National Landscape, with a well-preserved High Street and a range of period and character properties in the surrounding villages.

FAQs
Steam Room & Sauna in Dorking: FAQs
Do you provide steam room & sauna across all of Dorking?
Yes, we cover the RH4 and RH5 postcode areas in full, including Westcott, Milton Heath, Pixham, Ranmore, North Holmwood, Betchworth.
What's the difference between a steam room and a sauna?
A steam room uses wet heat from a steam generator at high humidity and needs full waterproofing, while a sauna uses dry heat from an electric or wood-burning heater and needs suitable timber cladding and ventilation rather than tanking. Which suits you depends on personal preference and the space available.
Can a steam room be added to an existing bathroom or wet room?
Yes, this is a common way to incorporate one, provided there's enough space for the enclosure, generator and ventilation — we assess feasibility as part of the design consultation.
Can barns near Dorking be converted to residential use?
It depends on the specific planning history and policy for the building, including whether Class Q permitted development rights apply. This is assessed individually for each building.
