Wet Room in Reigate
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 Reigate, that covers Woodhatch, Reigate Heath, Meadvale, Wray Park, Colley. Reigate sits at the foot of the North Downs, with a historic town centre and a number of well-established residential areas featuring substantial Victorian, Edwardian and interwar houses. Its position near the Surrey Hills National Landscape (formerly AONB) shapes planning policy for parts of the borough.

Property styles in Reigate
Reigate has a strong stock of larger detached and semi-detached Victorian and Edwardian houses, along with mock-Tudor interwar properties, many of which suit generously proportioned rear and wraparound extensions or double-storey additions.
Planning considerations
Reigate & Banstead Borough Council is the local planning authority. The historic town centre is a conservation area, and parts of the borough fall within the Surrey Hills National Landscape (National Landscape, formerly AONB), which brings additional design and landscape considerations for extensions and new structures.

FAQs
Wet Room in Reigate: FAQs
Do you provide wet room across all of Reigate?
Yes, we cover the RH2 postcode area in full, including Woodhatch, Reigate Heath, Meadvale, Wray Park, Colley.
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 the Surrey Hills National Landscape designation affect extensions in Reigate?
For properties within the designated area, additional weight is given to landscape character and visual impact in planning decisions. We check whether your property falls within the boundary during feasibility.
