Questions about ensuite installation in Risca
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.
Which postcodes in Risca do you work in?
All of them, including CF83, NP10, NP11 and NP44, and the surrounding parts of Newport.
Where do I check the HMO rules for an address in Risca?
With the local council for the address. Welsh councils set their own HMO standards and may run additional licensing. In Wales, changing a house to a C4 HMO always needs planning permission, so check planning first.
