Questions about ensuite installation in Flintshire
How noisy are macerators?
Modern units are quieter than older ones but still audible. We use them only where gravity drainage is not possible and fit them to reduce noise.
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 Flintshire?
Yes, across the whole of Flintshire, including Buckley, Deeside, Flint.
Who licenses HMOs in Flintshire?
Flintshire council licenses HMOs in its area. Landlords must also register with Rent Smart Wales.
