Working in Maesteg

As well as Maesteg itself (CF34), we survey in Briton Ferry, Neath and Bridgend.

Maesteg gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Maesteg home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain. We quote wet rooms in Maesteg only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies.

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

A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system

Decisions to make first

Screen size

A screen of 1200 mm or more keeps spray off the rest of the room in most layouts. In a very small wet room, expect the whole floor to get wet.

Underfloor heating

Electric underfloor heating under the tiles dries the floor quickly after a shower; it is typically £700 to £1,500 for a bathroom.

Rules that apply in Wales

In Wales, Part H covers new drainage and the Welsh Part F sets similar extract rates. The Welsh Part P makes more electrical work notifiable than in England, so the electrician should notify and certify the work.

Do you cover CF34 in Maesteg?

Yes. We cover all of Maesteg, including CF34, and nearby Briton Ferry, Neath and Bridgend. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What is tanking in a wet room?

Tanking is the waterproof layer under the tiles that stops water reaching the floor and walls. It is usually a liquid or sheet membrane, with sealing tape at every corner, board joint and pipe. Tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own, so the tanking is what actually keeps the water in.
