Working in Cwmbran

We cover every part of Cwmbran, including NP44, and nearby Pontypool (3.4 miles) and Risca (4.6 miles).

In Cwmbran, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are planning ahead in Cwmbran rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Cwmbran home to go with the application.

Hardness differs from one part of Gwent to the next. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Cwmbran. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space

Decisions to make first

Seat

A wall-mounted fold-down seat saves space and stays put. A freestanding shower stool is portable but takes floor space and can shift.

Colour contrast

Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.

Rules that apply in Wales

In Wales, Disabled Facilities Grants of up to £36,000 are applied for through your local council. The Welsh Part P has a wider list of notifiable electrical work than England.

What is the difference between an accessible bathroom and a wet room?

An accessible bathroom is defined by who it is for; a wet room is a way of building the floor. Many accessible bathrooms are built as wet rooms because a level, fully tanked floor removes every step. Others use a low-profile tray, which costs less and suits people who can manage a small lip.
