Working in Porthcawl
We cover every part of Porthcawl, including CF36, and nearby Bridgend (5.7 miles) and Maesteg (9.2 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Porthcawl: free survey, written quote, one team. If the only toilet in your Porthcawl home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Porthcawl, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days.
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
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- 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
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
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.
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.
