Working in Briton Ferry

As well as Briton Ferry itself (SA7 and SA12), we survey in Neath, Clydach and Swansea.

In Briton Ferry, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are converting a bathroom in Briton Ferry into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side. Where a Briton Ferry shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter.

Supplies across most of West Glamorgan are soft. If that holds for your street in Briton Ferry, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling

Decisions to make first

Glass

8 mm toughened glass is the usual standard for a walk-in panel. An easy-clean coating helps a great deal in hard-water areas.

Drain

A centre waste in a tray is the norm. A linear drain along one wall lets a tiled floor fall one way, so large tiles can run through.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales has its own Part P and Part F. More electrical work is notifiable there than in England, and the extract rates are similar.

Will a shower room put buyers off?
