Working in Bangor

We work right across Bangor — LL57 and LL59 — and in neighbouring Caernarfon and Llandudno.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Bangor: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Bangor water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads. For Bangor homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve.

Water across much of Gwynedd is soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving

Decisions to make first

Copper or plastic

Copper is rigid and suits pipes on show or near the boiler. Plastic is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.

Hard water

In hard water areas, a scale reducer or water softener protects valves, shower heads and glass. Keep an unsoftened tap in the kitchen for drinking.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales also uses the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and has its own Part H for drainage. The same rule on macerators applies: there must be a gravity-drained WC elsewhere in the home.

More about bathroom plumbing

Bathroom plumbing in Bangor: questions

What is the price of bathroom plumbing work in Bangor?

Bathroom plumbing work in Bangor usually costs £550–£3,700 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Do you cover LL57 and LL59 in Bangor?

Yes. We cover all of Bangor, including LL57 and LL59, and nearby Caernarfon, Llandudno and Colwyn Bay. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Bangor?

Who handles building control for bathroom plumbing work in Bangor?

Building control for Bangor is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Can a toilet be moved anywhere in a bathroom?

Not anywhere. A WC needs a 110 mm waste with enough fall to reach the soil stack, and the joists limit which way that pipe can run under the floor. Where gravity drainage cannot work, a macerator is an option only if the home also has a WC on gravity drainage.
