Working in Aberystwyth

We work right across Aberystwyth — SY23 — and in neighbouring Carmarthen and Ammanford.

Aberystwyth gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In a compact Aberystwyth bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. For a wet room in a Aberystwyth flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts.

Supplies across most of Dyfed are soft. If that holds for your street in Aberystwyth, 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

A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover

Decisions to make first

Open or screened

A fully open shower with no glass only works in a larger room, with the basin, WC and towels well away from the spray.

Former or screed

A pre-formed board gives a consistent fall and suits timber floors. A sand and cement screed suits concrete slabs and larger shower areas.

Rules that apply in Wales

In Wales, Part H covers new drainage and the Welsh Part F sets similar extract rates. The Welsh Part P makes more electrical work notifiable than in England, so the electrician should notify and certify the work.

Wet rooms in Aberystwyth: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Aberystwyth?

A wet room in Aberystwyth usually costs £5,600–£11,250 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the water hard in Aberystwyth?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Aberystwyth?

Building control for Aberystwyth 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.

How long does a wet room take?

Allow 5–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Aberystwyth.

Can I have a wet room in a flat?

Often, but check your lease first. Freeholder consent is commonly needed, especially where the drainage or the floor changes, and the risk of a leak into the flat below means the tanking and drain connection must be done with care. Sound insulation in the floor matters too.
