Wet Room in Guildford
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 Guildford, that covers Onslow Village, Merrow, Burpham, Stoughton, Westborough, Charlotteville, Shalford. Guildford is Surrey's county town, with a historic cobbled High Street, a substantial university population, and residential areas ranging from Victorian terraces near the centre to larger detached houses in the surrounding hills, close to the North Downs and Surrey Hills.

Property styles in Guildford
Guildford's housing stock spans Victorian and Edwardian terraces close to the town centre, substantial interwar and postwar detached housing in areas such as Onslow Village and Merrow, and newer developments on the town's edges.
Planning considerations
Guildford Borough Council is the local planning authority. The historic town centre and several residential areas are conservation areas, and parts of the borough fall within the Surrey Hills National Landscape, affecting design and materials for visible extensions.

FAQs
Wet Room in Guildford: FAQs
Do you provide wet room across all of Guildford?
Yes, we cover the GU1, GU2, GU3 and GU4 postcode areas in full, including Onslow Village, Merrow, Burpham, Stoughton, Westborough, Charlotteville, Shalford.
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.
Are there conservation areas across Guildford?
Yes, several, including the historic town centre and parts of some residential neighbourhoods. We check the position for your specific address as part of the feasibility assessment.
