Working in Maesteg
We cover every part of Maesteg, including CF34, and nearby Briton Ferry (7.1 miles) and Neath (7.3 miles).
Maesteg gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you want a shower in your Maesteg home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit. For Maesteg homes with a cold tank in the loft, we check the system before fitting anything, because a pump is only allowed on a gravity supply.
Water across much of Mid Glamorgan is soft. If that holds for your street in Maesteg, 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
- New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
- Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
Decisions to make first
Thermostatic mixer
Blends hot and cold from your system and holds the temperature steady when someone runs a tap. The usual choice with a combi or an unvented cylinder.
Power shower
A mixer with a built-in pump, for tank-fed systems only. It lifts a weak gravity shower but must never be connected to the mains.
Rules that apply in Wales
In Wales, a new circuit for an electric shower is notifiable under the Welsh Part P, which covers more work than the English version. An unvented cylinder must be fitted by a G3-qualified installer.
