Working in Cwmbran
As well as Cwmbran itself (NP44), we survey in Pontypool, Risca and Newport.
In Cwmbran, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Cwmbran cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Cwmbran, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days.
Water hardness varies across Gwent: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
Decisions to make first
Door
An outward-opening door is usually needed so it does not hit the WC. A sliding door suits a narrow hallway where an outward door would block the way.
Under-stair layout
Headroom drops quickly under stairs. The basin and the space in front of the WC need standing height; the low end of the room can take the cistern or storage.
Rules that apply in Wales
In Wales, Part H covers a new drainage connection and the Welsh Part F covers ventilation, with rates similar to England. The Welsh Part P has a wider notifiable list, so check with your electrician whether the cloakroom lighting and fan need to be notified.
