Working in Ebbw Vale
We cover every part of Ebbw Vale, including NP23, and nearby Merthyr Tydfil (7.5 miles) and Blackwood (7.6 miles).
In Ebbw Vale, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a new cloakroom in Ebbw Vale, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs. Where your Ebbw Vale home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go.
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
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
Decisions to make first
WC style
A wall-hung WC on a frame gives the most floor space and looks neat. A back-to-wall pan in a short furniture unit is easier to fit against an uneven wall.
Finishes
A small room can carry a bolder tile or wallpaper. A feature wall behind the WC costs far less here than in a full bathroom because there is so little of it.
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.
