Working in Briton Ferry

As well as Briton Ferry itself (SA7 and SA12), we survey in Neath, Clydach and Swansea.

In Briton Ferry, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We measure Briton Ferry bathrooms on site before drawing anything, so layouts are based on your walls rather than a standard plan. For loft rooms and sloping ceilings in Briton Ferry homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area.

Supplies across most of West Glamorgan are 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 conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one
A measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan

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.

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.

How long does a new bathroom design take?

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 Briton Ferry.

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.
