Working in Pontypool

In Pontypool we cover NP4 and NP44; we also cover Cwmbran, 3.4 miles away, and Risca.

Homes in and around Pontypool vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are in Pontypool and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices. A design survey in Pontypool covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork.

Hardness differs from one part of Gwent to the next. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail
A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one

Decisions to make first

The door

Re-hanging the door on the other side, fitting a sliding pocket door or moving the opening can free up a whole wall in a small room.

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.
