Working in Llantwit Major

As well as Llantwit Major itself (CF61), we survey in Bridgend, Barry and Porthcawl.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Llantwit Major: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Llantwit Major house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. If your Llantwit Major loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have.

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

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
A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover

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.

Is the water hard in Llantwit Major?

Is a bath too heavy for a loft floor?

A standard acrylic bath is usually fine on a loft floor built for a conversion, but a filled bath with someone in it is heavy, and stone-resin or cast-iron baths are much heavier still. We check the joist size, span and direction at the survey, and a heavy bath may need a structural check and strengthening first.
