Working in Aberystwyth

In Aberystwyth we cover SY23; we also cover Carmarthen, 39.8 miles away, and Ammanford.

Aberystwyth gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For loft rooms and sloping ceilings in Aberystwyth homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area. Whether you are in Aberystwyth or elsewhere in Dyfed, layout options come with an itemised written quote.

Water across much of Dyfed is soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
A measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one
Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts

Decisions to make first

Planning for later

Timber noggins in the walls for future grab rails, a wider door or a level shower floor cost far less to build in now than to add later.

Keep or change the layout

Keeping the WC and shower where they are saves on plumbing. The WC is the costly one to move, because it is tied to the soil stack.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales has its own Parts F, H and P. Extract rates are similar to England, but more electrical work is notifiable, so the design should allow for a registered electrician to notify it.

What is the best layout for a small bathroom?

In most small bathrooms the most practical layout puts the bath or shower along the longest wall, the WC on or close to the soil stack and the basin nearest the door. Swapping a bath for a walk-in shower, using short-projection pieces and hanging them on the wall all free up floor. Our small bathrooms page covers typical layouts.
