What is bathroom installation?

Most bathroom problems come from poor waterproofing and ventilation, so we tank wet areas, fit extraction that actually clears steam, and check water pressure before choosing showers. All electrics in bathrooms are done to the special-location rules.

Do you need permission for bathroom installation in Gwent?

Planning decisions in Wales are made by the local council, using permitted development rules set by the Welsh Government rather than England’s. Building regulations in Wales have their own approved documents, and the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies to work on shared walls and boundaries.

Bathroom refits do not need planning permission; building regulations rules for electrics and ventilation apply.

What should Gwent homeowners check first?

Low water pressure limits the choice of shower; a pump or unvented cylinder may be needed.
Wet rooms need a fall to the drain and full waterproofing.
