Working in Barry
We work right across Barry — CF62 and CF63 — and in neighbouring Penarth and Cardiff.
Homes in and around Barry vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Barry loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have. If your Barry home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options.
Most of South Glamorgan has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Barry. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
- An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
- A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
- Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
Decisions to make first
Getting the water pressure
A pumped shower suits a gravity system with a cold tank; an electric shower heats cold mains water at the point of use; a combi or unvented cylinder gives mains pressure throughout.
Where the shower goes
Under the ridge or in a dormer, where the full height is. A walk-in shower with a single panel is usually easier to fit to a roof line than a framed enclosure.
Rules that apply in Wales
Wales applies its own Part P, with a wider notifiable list than England, and its own Part F with similar extract rates. Part H covers the new drainage route down from the loft.
