Questions about ensuite installation in Wrexham
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.
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.
Do you carry out ensuite installation across Wrexham?
Yes, across the whole of Wrexham, including Wrexham, Rhosllannerchrugog, Brymbo.
Who licenses HMOs in Wrexham?
