Working in Ebbw Vale

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

In Ebbw Vale, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Ebbw Vale home has just one bathroom, we plan the fit so the toilet is working again at the end of each day wherever the job allows. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Ebbw Vale before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower.

Hardness differs from one part of Gwent to the next. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier

Decisions to make first

Screen or curtain

Glass keeps water in better than a curtain and does not go mouldy at the hem. A folding or hinged screen swings out of the way when you are kneeling to bath a child.

Floor

Matt or textured porcelain is the hardest-wearing option. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is warmer, quieter and cheaper to lay. Avoid polished tiles where children climb out of the bath.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales has its own Part P, with a wider list of notifiable electrical work than England, and its own Part F with similar extract rates if the fan is replaced. Ask your electrician which parts of the job will be notified, and expect a certificate at the end.

Is the water hard in Ebbw Vale?

Is a shower over the bath a good idea?

Yes, a shower over the bath is the most space-efficient way to have both in one room. Use a shower bath or a straight bath at least 700 mm wide, a glass screen and tiling or wall panels to full height around the bath. A common leak point is the seal between bath and wall, so the bath must be fully supported before it is sealed.
