Wet Room in Horsham
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 Horsham, that covers Roffey, Holbrook, Littlehaven, Denne, Trafalgar, Broadbridge Heath, Southwater, Warnham, Colgate. Horsham's town centre retains a historic core of timber-framed and Georgian buildings around the Carfax and Causeway, surrounded by Victorian villas, interwar suburbs and newer developments on the town's edges. The surrounding villages and countryside sit close to the South Downs, which shapes both the property styles and the planning context for extension and renovation work.

Property styles in Horsham
Horsham has a strong stock of period cottages and Victorian villas in and around the town centre, alongside 20th-century family housing in the surrounding estates and larger detached homes in the outlying villages. Extension and loft conversion potential varies significantly between the historic core and the more recent suburbs.
Planning considerations
Horsham District Council is the local planning authority. The town centre, including the Causeway, is a conservation area with a number of listed buildings, meaning alterations to visible elevations, windows and materials are more tightly controlled. Some outlying villages also have their own conservation area designations, which we check before advising on likely planning routes.

Do you provide wet room across all of Horsham?
Yes, we cover the RH12 and RH13 postcode areas in full, including Roffey, Holbrook, Littlehaven, Denne, Trafalgar, Broadbridge Heath, Southwater, Warnham, Colgate.
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.
Is Horsham town centre a conservation area?
Yes, the historic core around the Carfax and Causeway is a conservation area with a number of listed buildings, which affects what changes can be made without planning permission or listed building consent.
