Questions about ensuite installation in Ceredigion
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.
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 you carry out ensuite installation across Ceredigion?
Yes, across the whole of Ceredigion, including Aberystwyth.
Who licenses HMOs in Ceredigion?
Ceredigion council licenses HMOs in its area. Landlords must also register with Rent Smart Wales.
