Working in Rhondda
We work right across Rhondda — CF40, CF41 and CF43 — and in neighbouring Tonypandy and Aberdare.
In Rhondda, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Where your Rhondda home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. If the only toilet in your Rhondda home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips.
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
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
Decisions to make first
Under-stair layout
Headroom drops quickly under stairs. The basin and the space in front of the WC need standing height; the low end of the room can take the cistern or storage.
Finishes
A small room can carry a bolder tile or wallpaper. A feature wall behind the WC costs far less here than in a full bathroom because there is so little of it.
Rules that apply in Wales
In Wales, Part H covers a new drainage connection and the Welsh Part F covers ventilation, with rates similar to England. The Welsh Part P has a wider notifiable list, so check with your electrician whether the cloakroom lighting and fan need to be notified.
