Working in Cwmbran

We cover every part of Cwmbran, including NP44, and nearby Pontypool (3.4 miles) and Risca (4.6 miles).

In Cwmbran, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Cwmbran cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. If your Cwmbran water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.

Supplies across Gwent range from soft to hard depending on the source. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin

Decisions to make first

Basin type

An inset or semi-recessed basin, a one-piece moulded top, or a countertop basin on a worktop. Countertop basins need a tall tap or a wall-mounted one.

Width

Compact units around 400 mm wide suit cloakrooms; family bathrooms often take 600 to 800 mm for one basin and 1200 mm or more for two.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales follows the same water fittings regulations as England. Its own Part P covers more electrical work, so a lit vanity or mirror should be connected by a registered electrician.

Is the home survey in Cwmbran really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover NP44 in Cwmbran?
