Working in Brecon

In Brecon we cover LD3; we also cover Merthyr Tydfil, 13.7 miles away, and Ebbw Vale.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Brecon: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Brecon home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting. We survey in Brecon before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen.

Most of Powys 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

Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked

Decisions to make first

Tiling

Some customers tile themselves or use a separate tiler. That can work, but the order of trades and who tanks the shower area must be agreed first.

Making good

Decide whether you want the quote to cover making good and decorating, or to stop at the tiles so you can paint yourself.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales uses the same water fittings regulations as England but has its own Part P with a wider notifiable list, so more of the electrical side of a refit needs notifying. A registered electrician handles this and gives you the certificate.

What does a bathroom fitter do?

A bathroom fitter removes the old bathroom, installs new pipework and wastes, boards and prepares the walls, tiles, and fits the bath or shower, basin, WC, furniture and accessories. Electrical work in a bathroom is done by a qualified electrician, and any gas work, such as moving a boiler, by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
