The waterproofing in a Rodborough wet room is our obsession, not just our job. We apply two coats of liquid membrane to every floor and wall surface, reinforce every junction with tape, and test the integrity before any tiles go on. In Gloucestershire properties with timber floors, we add an additional structural layer because flex is the enemy of waterproof joints.
Wet rooms in Rodborough are increasingly specified as the primary bathroom, not just a luxury addition. Families appreciate the easy cleaning, elderly residents value the level access, and everyone enjoys the open, spacious feeling. We design wet rooms that serve as the main household bathroom — practical and beautiful enough for daily use by everyone.
Perched above Stroud with views across to Rodborough Common, this hillside neighbourhood's stone houses benefit from carefully planned bathroom installations.
Rodborough sits on the common above Stroud with stone-built properties ranging from modest cottages to substantial hillside houses.
Rodborough's elevated common-side properties often have spring water issues in the ground, affecting cellar and ground-floor bathroom damp management.
Rodborough features a mix of Cotswold stone cottages with thick walls, Georgian and Victorian townhouses, 1930s semis, and modern estates. the Severn Vale gets damp winters with heavy rainfall. Bathrooms need good ventilation and proper waterproofing — condensation on cold stone walls is a particular issue in older properties.
Heating a wet room in Rodborough is more important than in a standard bathroom because the entire floor gets wet. Underfloor heating dries the floor faster, prevents the cold, damp feeling that wet rooms can have, and reduces the risk of mould. We include UFH as a standard recommendation in all our wet room installations.
Wet room construction in Gloucestershire timber-framed properties requires specific floor treatment. In Rodborough homes with joisted floors, we install marine-grade plywood over the joists, then pre-formed gradient boards to create the drainage fall. This structural approach prevents the flexing that cracks membrane joints and causes leaks.
If your Rodborough wet room is above another room, insist on a secondary membrane beneath the structural floor as well as the primary tanking on top. Belt-and-braces waterproofing is the only sensible approach when there's a living space below.
Regular squeegee use after showering extends the life of your Gloucestershire wet room and prevents soap scum buildup on tiles. We provide a stainless steel squeegee with every Rodborough wet room installation — it takes 30 seconds and makes a real difference.

Choosing a shower based on looks alone. The most stylish shower valve in the showroom might not be compatible with your Rodborough home's water system — always check compatibility before purchasing.
