Windows, Doors and Conservatory Roofs Across Rhondda Cynon Taf
Rhondda Cynon Taf is the most exposed housing stock we work on, and it changes the specification on every job.
Rhondda Cynon Taf runs from Pontypridd and Llantrisant in the south right up the Rhondda Fawr and Fach and the Cynon Valley to Treherbert, Maerdy and Hirwaun. Almost all of it is built on valley sides, and that geography drives the work more than any style trend.
Terraces here catch wind driven rain on one elevation for months at a time. Frames that would be perfectly adequate in a sheltered town fail early on a Treorchy hillside, so we specify drained and vented profiles, upgraded gaskets and appropriate wind loading as standard across the county borough.
Housing in Rhondda Cynon Taf
Tightly packed Victorian miners' terraces dominate the upper valleys at Treorchy, Ferndale, Tylorstown and Maerdy, mostly two up two down with non standard reveals and settled lintels. The valley floors at Pontypridd, Aberdare and Mountain Ash add Edwardian frontages and post-war estates. The southern fringe around Beddau, Tonteg, Llantwit Fardre, Talbot Green and Pontyclun is 1980s to 2000s estate housing on flatter ground, where bifolds, grey aluminium and orangeries are the popular upgrades instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do valley properties need a different window specification?
Yes. Exposed valley elevations take sustained wind driven rain, so we specify drained and vented multi-chambered frames with upgraded gaskets and appropriate wind loading rather than a generic town spec.
Will new windows really cut my heating bill on a terrace?
On original or first-generation glazing in an exposed terrace, the difference is usually the largest we see anywhere on our patch. We will show you the ratings and be straight about what to expect.
Can you fit on steep, narrow valley streets?
We do it weekly. Loading and access are scoped at survey so the fitting day runs to plan.
