Working in Merthyr Tydfil

We work right across Merthyr Tydfil — CF47 and CF48 — and in neighbouring Aberdare and Rhondda.

Homes in and around Merthyr Tydfil vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Merthyr Tydfil cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. Landlords in Merthyr Tydfil can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.

Water across much of Mid Glamorgan is 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

Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall

Decisions to make first

Drawers or doors

Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.

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.

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.
