Working in Llantwit Major
We work right across Llantwit Major — CF61 — and in neighbouring Bridgend and Barry.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Llantwit Major: free survey, written quote, one team. Where your Llantwit Major 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 Llantwit Major home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips.
Most of South Glamorgan has moderately hard water. 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
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- 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.
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.
