Working in Risca
As well as Risca itself (NP10 and NP11), we survey in Newport, Cwmbran and Caerphilly.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Risca: free survey, written quote, one team. Where your Risca home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. If the only toilet in your Risca home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips.
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
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
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.
Basin
A corner basin fits the tightest rooms. A slim vanity basin with a cupboard underneath gives somewhere to keep spare toilet rolls and soap, and hides the trap.
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.
