Working in Briton Ferry
In Briton Ferry we cover SA7 and SA12; we also cover Neath, 2.3 miles away, and Clydach.
Homes in and around Briton Ferry vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Where your Briton Ferry home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. We survey cloakrooms in Briton Ferry with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly.
Supplies across most of West 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
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
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.
Under-stair layout
Headroom drops quickly under stairs. The basin and the space in front of the WC need standing height; the low end of the room can take the cistern or storage.
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.
