Working in Merthyr Tydfil

We cover every part of Merthyr Tydfil, including CF47 and CF48, and nearby Aberdare (3.8 miles) and Rhondda (6.9 miles).

Homes in and around Merthyr Tydfil vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Merthyr Tydfil en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit. If you live in a Merthyr Tydfil flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents.

Water across much of Mid Glamorgan is soft. 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

A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls

Decisions to make first

Door type

An outward-opening door frees floor space inside. A sliding pocket door saves space on both sides but needs a stud wall long enough to take the cassette.

Noise

Acoustic insulation in the stud walls and a quiet fan make a real difference when one of you showers early while the other is still asleep.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales has its own Part F with similar extract rates and its own Part P, which makes more electrical work notifiable than in England. The drainage for a new en-suite falls under Part H. The work should be notified, and you should receive the certificates at the end.

Is the water hard in Merthyr Tydfil?

What extractor fan does an en-suite need?

In England, a new en-suite needs extract ventilation of at least 15 litres per second if the fan runs intermittently, or 8 litres per second if it runs continuously. Duct it to outside, keep the duct run short, and choose a quiet fan with an overrun timer, because it sits next to a bedroom.
