Covering Pontypool
Alongside Pontypool, we also cover Cwmbran, Newport (8 miles to the south) and Abergavenny.
Homes in Gwent
Welsh homes include long terraces built into hillsides, stone cottages and modern estates, and sloping sites often shape how and where an extension can go.
What is included in bathroom installation in Pontypool?
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.
- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Strip-out and disposal
- Waterproofing (tanking) of wet areas

Do you need permission for bathroom installation in Pontypool?
In Wales the planning rules, including what counts as permitted development, are set by the Welsh Government, and Welsh building regulations differ in places from England’s. We check both against your house before drawings are finalised, and handle party wall notices where needed.
Bathroom refits do not need planning permission; building regulations rules for electrics and ventilation apply.
What can affect bathroom installation?
- Low water pressure limits the choice of shower; a pump or unvented cylinder may be needed.
- Moving a toilet depends on the soil pipe route.
How does the project run?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
