Questions about ensuite installation in Gwynedd
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 Gwynedd?
Yes, across the whole of Gwynedd, including Bangor (Gwynedd).
Who licenses HMOs in Gwynedd?
Gwynedd council licenses HMOs in its area. Landlords must also register with Rent Smart Wales.
