Working in Aberdare

As well as Aberdare itself (CF44), we survey in Rhondda, Merthyr Tydfil and Tonypandy.

Homes in and around Aberdare vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Wall-hung vanities in Aberdare homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. If your Aberdare water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.

Supplies across most of Mid Glamorgan are soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin

Decisions to make first

Waste and overflow

A basin with an overflow takes a slotted waste; one without needs an unslotted waste, often a push-button 'click-clack' type.

Basin type

An inset or semi-recessed basin, a one-piece moulded top, or a countertop basin on a worktop. Countertop basins need a tall tap or a wall-mounted one.

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.

Is the water hard in Aberdare?

Who handles building control for a new vanity unit in Aberdare?

Building control for Aberdare is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

What size vanity unit do I need?

Measure the wall and leave room to stand at the basin and open the door. Cloakroom units can be around 400 mm wide; most family bathrooms take 600 to 800 mm for a single basin and 1200 mm or more for a double. For a whole wall of storage, look at fitted bathroom furniture.
