Working in Tonypandy

In Tonypandy we cover CF40; we also cover Rhondda, 2.6 miles away, and Pontypridd.

In Tonypandy, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Tonypandy bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor. If you are planning a wet room in Tonypandy for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Most of Mid Glamorgan is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Tonypandy, 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
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover

Decisions to make first

Linear or centre drain

A linear drain along one wall lets the floor fall in a single direction, so large tiles can be laid without awkward cuts. A centre drain needs a four-way fall and suits smaller tiles or mosaic.

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.

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.

Wet rooms in Tonypandy: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Tonypandy?

Is the home survey in Tonypandy really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover CF40 in Tonypandy?

Yes. We cover all of Tonypandy, including CF40, and nearby Rhondda, Pontypridd and Aberdare. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you have a wet room on a wooden floor?

Yes. On a timber floor, the former usually sits down between the joists so the finished floor stays level, and the joists may need trimming, strengthening or extra noggins. The floor must be stiff, often with a ply overlay, so it does not flex and crack the tiles or the tanking. We check the joists at the survey before quoting.
