Working in Brecon

We cover every part of Brecon, including LD3, and nearby Merthyr Tydfil (13.7 miles) and Ebbw Vale (14 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Brecon: free survey, written quote, one team. For loft rooms and sloping ceilings in Brecon homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area. Whether you are in Brecon or elsewhere in Powys, layout options come with an itemised written quote.

Water across much of Powys 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 measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
A clear view of which changes are cheap and which mean moving drainage or opening floors
Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail
A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed

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.

Storage

Fitted furniture, a vanity with a tall cupboard, or recessed niches and a mirror cabinet. Recessed storage costs no floor space but needs a stud wall or deep boxing to sit in.

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.
