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 your Merthyr Tydfil home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options. If your Merthyr Tydfil house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump.

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 pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
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.

Eaves storage

Low cupboards built into the slope behind the WC or basin take clutter out of the room and hide the pipework.

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 Merthyr Tydfil: questions

How much should I budget for a loft bathroom in Merthyr Tydfil?

Is the home survey in Merthyr Tydfil 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 CF47 and CF48 in Merthyr Tydfil?

Yes. We cover all of Merthyr Tydfil, including CF47 and CF48, and nearby Aberdare, Rhondda and Ebbw Vale. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Merthyr Tydfil?

Is a bath too heavy for a loft floor?

A standard acrylic bath is usually fine on a loft floor built for a conversion, but a filled bath with someone in it is heavy, and stone-resin or cast-iron baths are much heavier still. We check the joist size, span and direction at the survey, and a heavy bath may need a structural check and strengthening first.
