Working in Caerphilly

In Caerphilly we cover CF15 and CF83; we also cover Risca, 5.5 miles away, and Pontypridd.

Homes in and around Caerphilly vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a wet room in a Caerphilly flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts. If your Caerphilly bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor.

Hardness differs from one part of Gwent to the next. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Caerphilly. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack

Decisions to make first

Underfloor heating

Electric underfloor heating under the tiles dries the floor quickly after a shower; it is typically £700 to £1,500 for a bathroom.

Screen size

A screen of 1200 mm or more keeps spray off the rest of the room in most layouts. In a very small wet room, expect the whole floor to get wet.

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 Caerphilly: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Caerphilly?

A wet room in Caerphilly usually costs £5,600–£11,250 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Who handles building control for a wet room in Caerphilly?

Building control for Caerphilly 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 Caerphilly.

Is the home survey in Caerphilly 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 wet rooms leak?

A properly tanked wet room should not leak. When one does, the cause is usually a gap in the membrane at a corner or pipe, a poor drain connection, or a floor that flexes and splits the seal. Leaks in wet rooms are expensive to trace, which is why the floor is stiffened first and the tanking is checked before tiling.
