Working in Cardiff

In Cardiff we cover CF10, CF11 and CF24; we also cover Penarth, 2.9 miles away, and Caerphilly.

In a city the size of Cardiff, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. We survey in Cardiff before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. Whether your Cardiff bathroom is a compact box room or a larger main bathroom, the layout starts from measurements taken on site.

Supplies across most of South Glamorgan are moderately hard. 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

Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation

Decisions to make first

Tiling height

Tiling just the wet areas keeps the cost down. Full-height tiling looks better and is easier to wipe clean.

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units show more floor and look lighter; floor-standing units give more storage and suit uneven walls.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales has its own version of Part P, and more bathroom electrical work is notifiable there than in England. Use a registered electrician who will notify the work and give you a certificate.

Is the water hard in Cardiff?

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Cardiff?

Building control for Cardiff 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.

What is the difference between a fitted bathroom and a normal bathroom?

In a fitted bathroom the basin, WC and storage are built into one continuous run of furniture, with the cistern and pipes hidden behind panels and a worktop across the top. A standard bathroom uses separate pieces, such as a pedestal basin and close-coupled toilet, which leave gaps and visible pipework.
