Working in Penarth

As well as Penarth itself (CF64), we survey in Cardiff, Barry and Caerphilly.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Penarth: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Penarth home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting. For Penarth bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is.

Supplies across most of South Glamorgan are moderately hard. 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

Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked

Decisions to make first

Delivery timing

Having everything delivered and checked before the start date avoids a half-finished room while a missing part is sent again.

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.
