Working in Gelligaer
We cover every part of Gelligaer, including CF82, and nearby Blackwood (2.1 miles) and Pontypridd (5.7 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Gelligaer: free survey, written quote, one team. We quote vanity unit work in Gelligaer after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. If your Gelligaer water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.
Water hardness varies across Gwent: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Decisions to make first
Wall-hung or floor-standing
Wall-hung units leave the floor clear and are easy to clean under, but need a strong wall. Floor-standing units hold more and suit weak or uneven walls.
One basin or two
Two basins help a busy household if the wall is long enough. In a smaller room, one basin with a longer top often works better.
Rules that apply in Wales
Wales follows the same water fittings regulations as England. Its own Part P covers more electrical work, so a lit vanity or mirror should be connected by a registered electrician.
