Working in Ebbw Vale

We work right across Ebbw Vale — NP23 — and in neighbouring Merthyr Tydfil and Blackwood.

Homes in and around Ebbw Vale vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For an en-suite in Ebbw Vale, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack. If your Ebbw Vale en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit.

Supplies across Gwent range from soft to hard depending on the source. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Ebbw Vale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite

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.

Door type

An outward-opening door frees floor space inside. A sliding pocket door saves space on both sides but needs a stud wall long enough to take the cassette.

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.

Is the water hard in Ebbw Vale?

What extractor fan does an en-suite need?

In England, a new en-suite needs extract ventilation of at least 15 litres per second if the fan runs intermittently, or 8 litres per second if it runs continuously. Duct it to outside, keep the duct run short, and choose a quiet fan with an overrun timer, because it sits next to a bedroom.
