Working in Llanelli

We cover every part of Llanelli, including SA15, and nearby Gorseinon (5.2 miles) and Swansea (10.3 miles).

Homes in and around Llanelli vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are planning a wet room in Llanelli for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. If your Llanelli home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

Supplies across most of Dyfed are soft. If that holds for your street in Llanelli, 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 pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling

Decisions to make first

Linear or centre drain

A linear drain along one wall lets the floor fall in a single direction, so large tiles can be laid without awkward cuts. A centre drain needs a four-way fall and suits smaller tiles or mosaic.

Floor tile

Matt or textured porcelain with good slip resistance. Mosaic gives extra grip on a centre-drain floor because of its many grout lines.

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.

More about wet rooms

Wet rooms in Llanelli: questions

How much should I budget for a wet room in Llanelli?

A wet room in Llanelli 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.

Is the water hard in Llanelli?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Llanelli?

Building control for Llanelli 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.

What is tanking in a wet room?

Tanking is the waterproof layer under the tiles that stops water reaching the floor and walls. It is usually a liquid or sheet membrane, with sealing tape at every corner, board joint and pipe. Tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own, so the tanking is what actually keeps the water in.
