Working in Welshpool

We work right across Welshpool — SY21 — and in neighbouring Newtown and Brecon.

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

Most of Powys is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Welshpool, 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

An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
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
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve

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.

More about en-suites

En-suites in Welshpool: questions

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

An en-suite in Welshpool usually costs £4,200–£8,400 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Welshpool 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 SY21 in Welshpool?

Yes. We cover all of Welshpool, including SY21, and nearby Newtown, Brecon and Ystalyfera. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Welshpool?

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.
