Working in Gelligaer

We cover every part of Gelligaer, including CF82, and nearby Blackwood (2.1 miles) and Pontypridd (5.7 miles).

Gelligaer gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Gelligaer loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Gelligaer home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.

Water hardness varies across Gwent: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Gelligaer. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit

Decisions to make first

Roof window

A roof window over the bath or shower brings daylight and fresh air, but plan the blind for privacy and expect condensation on cold glass.

Getting the water pressure

A pumped shower suits a gravity system with a cold tank; an electric shower heats cold mains water at the point of use; a combi or unvented cylinder gives mains pressure throughout.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales applies its own Part P, with a wider notifiable list than England, and its own Part F with similar extract rates. Part H covers the new drainage route down from the loft.

Loft bathrooms in Gelligaer: questions

A loft bathroom in Gelligaer usually costs £6,000–£12,000 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the home survey in Gelligaer really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover CF82 in Gelligaer?

Yes. We cover all of Gelligaer, including CF82, and nearby Blackwood, Pontypridd and Caerphilly. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do I need a pump for a loft shower?

You need a pump if your hot water comes from a cylinder fed by a cold tank, because the tank usually sits at or below the height of a loft shower and gives almost no pressure. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure, so no pump is needed, though the flow can drop when other taps run. Shower pumps must only be used on gravity systems, never connected to the mains.
