Which towns do we cover in West Glamorgan?
Water across much of West Glamorgan is soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. If your Swansea bathroom has pipes running along the walls, a fitted run can box them in neatly while adding storage.
What the job includes
- Measuring every wall for length, height and how far it is out of square
- A concealed cistern or cistern frame, with an isolation valve you can reach through the flush plate or a panel
- Supply of carcasses, doors, plinths, fillers and end panels in your chosen finish
- A worktop cut to length, with basin and tap cut-outs and sealed edges
- Basin, tap and waste connected, and the WC pan fixed and joined to the soil pipe
- Tall units fixed to the wall, doors adjusted and soft-close hinges set
Decisions to make first
Carcass board
Moisture-resistant board with sealed edges is the minimum. Some ranges use a PVC-based or similar carcass that copes better with splashes and leaks.
Door style
Slab doors are the easiest to wipe down. Shaker doors look traditional but have grooves that collect dust. Handleless push-to-open doors suit a plain, modern room.
Unit depth
Slimline units are shallower and suit narrow rooms; standard-depth units hold more and give a wider worktop over the cistern.
Tall storage
A tall unit at the end of the run takes towels and cleaning products off the floor. Check it clears the door, window and towel rail.
Rules that apply in Wales
Fitted furniture itself is not controlled by building regulations, but what goes into it is. A new WC must meet the water fittings rules, with a maximum 6-litre flush and backflow protection. Illuminated mirrors, cabinet lights and shaver points must suit the bathroom zones under BS 7671, on circuits with 30 mA RCD protection, and apart from shaver supply units, sockets must be at least 3 m from the edge of zone 1.
Wales has its own Part P with a wider list of notifiable work, so lit furniture should be connected by a registered electrician who notifies it. The water fittings rules are the same as in England.
