Questions about ensuite installation in Bridgend
Can an ensuite go anywhere?
It needs a route for waste water. Gravity drainage is best; where that is not possible, a macerator or pump can work. We check at the survey.
Do ensuites need building control?
New drainage and extraction usually fall under the building regulations, so a building notice or competent-person self-certification is normally needed.

Yes, across the whole of Bridgend, including Bridgend, Coity, Maesteg.
Who licenses HMOs in Bridgend?
