Working in Neath

In Neath we cover SA7, SA10 and SA11; we also cover Briton Ferry, 2.3 miles away, and Clydach.

Homes in and around Neath vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Neath home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain. We quote wet rooms in Neath only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies.

Supplies across most of West Glamorgan are soft. If that holds for your street in Neath, 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

Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 Neath: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Neath?

A wet room in Neath usually costs £5,600–£11,250 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the home survey in Neath 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 SA7 in Neath?

Yes. We cover all of Neath, including SA7, SA10 and SA11, and nearby Briton Ferry, Clydach and Swansea. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you have a wet room on a wooden floor?

Yes. On a timber floor, the former usually sits down between the joists so the finished floor stays level, and the joists may need trimming, strengthening or extra noggins. The floor must be stiff, often with a ply overlay, so it does not flex and crack the tiles or the tanking. We check the joists at the survey before quoting.
