Working in Aberdare
We work right across Aberdare — CF44 — and in neighbouring Rhondda and Merthyr Tydfil.
In Aberdare, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In a long, narrow Aberdare en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. If you are planning ahead in Aberdare for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.
Water across much of Mid Glamorgan is soft. If that holds for your street in Aberdare, 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 survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
Decisions to make first
Glass thickness
8 mm toughened glass is standard; 10 mm feels heavier and more solid. An easy-clean coating keeps limescale off clear glass in hard-water areas.
Tray length
Go long rather than wide. A 1400 to 1700 mm tray with a 900 to 1200 mm panel leaves a dry walkway; a 1200 mm tray works but gives less margin for spray.
Rules that apply in Wales
In Wales, the Welsh Part P covers a wider list of electrical work than England, so changes to the lighting or a new electric shower circuit should be notified and certified.
