Working in Merthyr Tydfil
As well as Merthyr Tydfil itself (CF47 and CF48), we survey in Aberdare, Rhondda and Ebbw Vale.
In Merthyr Tydfil, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Merthyr Tydfil home to go with the application. For Merthyr Tydfil homes where the only toilet is in the bathroom, we plan the work so it stays usable for as much of the job as possible.
Most of Mid Glamorgan is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Merthyr Tydfil, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
- A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
Decisions to make first
Colour contrast
Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.
Rail positions
Rails go where you need support: beside the WC, at the shower entry and near the seat. We set heights with the user at the survey so they suit their reach.
Rules that apply in Wales
In Wales, Disabled Facilities Grants of up to £36,000 are applied for through your local council. The Welsh Part P has a wider list of notifiable electrical work than England.
