Working in Ebbw Vale

As well as Ebbw Vale itself (NP23), we survey in Merthyr Tydfil, Blackwood and Gelligaer.

Homes in and around Ebbw Vale vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For listed and period properties in Ebbw Vale, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind. Whether your Ebbw Vale bathroom needs a refresh or a full strip back to brick, the written quote shows both where both are realistic.

Hardness differs from one part of Gwent to the next. 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

New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns

Decisions to make first

Heating

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

How far back to strip

Back to brick gives a clean start. Keeping sound plaster on some walls saves time and money, and the survey shows which walls can stay.

Rules that apply in Wales

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.

In homes built before 2000, asbestos can turn up in textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids or boxing panels.
