Working in Bridgend
In Bridgend we cover CF31 and CF35; we also cover Porthcawl, 5.7 miles away, and Llantwit Major.
Homes in and around Bridgend vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We survey cloakrooms in Bridgend with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly. Where your Bridgend home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go.
Supplies across most of Mid Glamorgan are soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. 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
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
Decisions to make first
Macerator or gravity
Gravity drainage is silent and needs no maintenance. A macerator lets a WC go where a pipe could not otherwise fall, provided another WC in the house is on gravity drainage.
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.
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.
