Working in Caernarfon

As well as Caernarfon itself (LL55), we survey in Bangor, Holyhead and Llandudno.

Caernarfon gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you live in a Caernarfon flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents. If your Caernarfon en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit.

Most of Gwynedd is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Caernarfon, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls

Decisions to make first

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.

Exposed or concealed valve

An exposed bar valve is quicker to fit and easy to service. A concealed valve looks cleaner but sits inside the wall, so plan how it will be reached for repairs.

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 Caernarfon: questions

What is the price of an en-suite in Caernarfon?

An en-suite in Caernarfon usually costs £4,200–£8,400 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the water hard in Caernarfon?

Who handles building control for an en-suite in Caernarfon?

Building control for Caernarfon is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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 Caernarfon.

Do I need building regulations approval for an en-suite?

A new en-suite usually does, because it involves new drainage, an extractor fan and new electrical circuits. A like-for-like refit of an existing en-suite normally does not, apart from any electrical work that is notifiable where you live. We tell you which parts apply at the survey.
