Working in Brecon
As well as Brecon itself (LD3), we survey in Merthyr Tydfil, Ebbw Vale and Aberdare.
Brecon gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We survey cloakrooms in Brecon with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly. For a new cloakroom in Brecon, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs.
Supplies across most of Powys 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
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
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.
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.
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.
