Which towns do we cover in Clwyd?

Water across much of Clwyd is 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. For listed and period properties in Wrexham, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind.

What the job includes

Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting

Decisions to make first

Heating

Moving the radiator, adding a heated towel rail or laying underfloor heating is simpler while the room is stripped.

Pipe material

Copper suits exposed runs and the area near the boiler. Plastic pipe is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.

Combining rooms

Taking out the wall between a bathroom and a separate WC gives one larger room, but it is structural work and may need building control.

Shower floor

With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.

Rules that apply in Wales

Renovating a bathroom inside an existing home does not need planning permission. Listed buildings need listed building consent for alterations that affect their character, which can include internal work and new soil or vent pipes through walls. In a flat, check the lease: freeholder consent is often needed for wet rooms, moving the WC or new extract vents, and sound insulation and leak risk to the flat below matter. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, with 30 mA RCD protection on every bathroom circuit.

Wales applies its own building regulations, including a wider Part P and its own Parts F and H. Structural and drainage changes go through building control in much the same way as in England.

Can I live in the house during a bathroom renovation?
