Working in Llantwit Major

We work right across Llantwit Major — CF61 — and in neighbouring Bridgend and Barry.

Llantwit Major gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Llantwit Major 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 Llantwit Major flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents.

Water across much of South Glamorgan is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Llantwit Major. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

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
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear

Decisions to make first

Noise

Acoustic insulation in the stud walls and a quiet fan make a real difference when one of you showers early while the other is still asleep.

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.

Is the water hard in Llantwit Major?

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.
