Working in Tonypandy
We work right across Tonypandy — CF40 — and in neighbouring Rhondda and Pontypridd.
In Tonypandy, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Plumbing surveys in Tonypandy include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote. In Tonypandy flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind.
Water across much of Mid Glamorgan is soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
Decisions to make first
Copper or plastic
Copper is rigid and suits pipes on show or near the boiler. Plastic is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.
Hard water
In hard water areas, a scale reducer or water softener protects valves, shower heads and glass. Keep an unsoftened tap in the kitchen for drinking.
Rules that apply in Wales
Wales also uses the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and has its own Part H for drainage. The same rule on macerators applies: there must be a gravity-drained WC elsewhere in the home.
