Wet Room in Crawley
A wet room is a level-access bathroom where the entire floor is waterproofed and gently graded to a drain, so the shower area has no tray, step or upstand — it typically requires altering the floor structure to create a fall to drainage, along with full tanking of the floor and walls.
In Crawley, that covers Ifield, Three Bridges, Southgate, Furnace Green, Broadfield, Pound Hill, Maidenbower, Northgate, West Green, Langley Green, Tilgate, Gossops Green, Bewbush. Crawley combines postwar new-town neighbourhoods with older pockets around Ifield, Three Bridges and Southgate, and sits close to Gatwick Airport with strong transport links into London and along the M23. Housing stock ranges from 1950s–70s estate homes to Victorian terraces and more recent developments, which means project requirements vary considerably from one street to the next.

Property styles in Crawley
Crawley's housing mix includes postwar semis and terraces across the New Town neighbourhoods, Victorian and Edwardian houses around the older Ifield and Southgate areas, and newer estate housing on the town's edges. Many properties are well suited to rear or side-return extensions where garden depth allows, and loft conversions are common in the older stock.
Planning considerations
Crawley Borough Council is the local planning authority. Ifield village and parts of the old town centre fall within conservation areas, which affects permitted development rights and materials on visible elevations. Properties near Gatwick Airport may also be subject to safeguarding or noise-related planning considerations, which we check at feasibility stage.

Can any bathroom be converted to a wet room?
Most ground-floor bathrooms can, but upper floors depend on how much joist depth and ceiling height is available below to form the drainage fall without excessive structural work — this is confirmed on survey.
Do wet rooms need a shower screen?
Not necessarily — some wet rooms are left fully open, while others use a glass screen or partial divider to contain splash. It's a design choice rather than a structural requirement.
