Wet Room in Maidstone
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 Maidstone, that covers Allington, Barming, Loose, Penenden Heath, Tovil, Weavering, Bearsted. Maidstone is the county town of Kent, set on the River Medway, with a historic centre and a broad mix of Victorian terraces, interwar suburbs and newer estate development across the wider town and surrounding villages.

The town includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces close to the centre, substantial interwar semis in the surrounding suburbs, and more recent estate housing on the town's edges, alongside period cottages in the outlying villages.
Planning considerations
Maidstone Borough Council is the local planning authority. The historic town centre and several village centres in the borough are conservation areas, and some areas are at risk of flooding from the River Medway, which can affect ground floor extension and conversion design.

FAQs
Wet Room in Maidstone: FAQs
Do you provide wet room across all of Maidstone?
Yes, we cover the ME14, ME15 and ME16 postcode areas in full, including Allington, Barming, Loose, Penenden Heath, Tovil, Weavering, Bearsted.
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.
Does flood risk from the River Medway affect extensions in Maidstone?
For properties in flood risk areas, extension design may need to take flood resilience into account, and a flood risk assessment can be required as part of a planning application. We check the Environment Agency flood mapping for your property during feasibility.
