Working in Cwmbran

As well as Cwmbran itself (NP44), we survey in Pontypool, Risca and Newport.

Homes in and around Cwmbran vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the en-suite in your Cwmbran home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size. For an en-suite in Cwmbran, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack.

Hardness differs from one part of Gwent to the next. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Cwmbran. 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, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

Refit or new en-suite

A refit keeps the existing drainage and walls. A new en-suite costs more because the walls, waste route, fan duct and electrics all start from nothing.

Shower size

A 900 mm square tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. In a long, narrow room, a 1200 by 800 mm walk-in tray with one glass panel feels far more generous.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales has its own Part F with similar extract rates and its own Part P, which makes more electrical work notifiable than in England. The drainage for a new en-suite falls under Part H. The work should be notified, and you should receive the certificates at the end.

En-suites in Cwmbran: questions

How much does an en-suite cost in Cwmbran?

An en-suite in Cwmbran usually costs £4,200–£8,400 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

How long does an en-suite take?

Allow 4–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Cwmbran.

Is the home survey in Cwmbran really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover NP44 in Cwmbran?

Yes. We cover all of Cwmbran, including NP44, and nearby Pontypool, Risca and Newport. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you put an en-suite anywhere?

Almost anywhere the waste can reach the soil stack. Gravity drainage needs a steady fall in the pipe, so the further the en-suite is from the stack, the more depth you need under the floor or behind boxing. Where that is not possible, a pumped waste or macerator can be used if the home already has a WC on gravity drainage. Our guide to adding an en-suite covers this in more detail.
