Working in Bridgend

As well as Bridgend itself (CF31 and CF35), we survey in Porthcawl, Llantwit Major and Maesteg.

In Bridgend, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. A design survey in Bridgend covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork. For loft rooms and sloping ceilings in Bridgend homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area.

Most of Mid Glamorgan is supplied with soft water. 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
Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail
Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan

Decisions to make first

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.

Where the shower goes

A shower on an outside wall is easier to ventilate; one under a sloping ceiling needs full head height where you stand, not just at the high side.

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.

Allow survey visit plus design on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Bridgend.

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.
