What the houses are like in Pontyclun

Two different jobs in one town. The older terraces around Pontyclun itself have the chimney breasts, the alcoves and the walls that need packing out. Talbot Green and Miskin are newer and faster to work in, but the ceilings are lower.

Ceiling height is what decides panelling here more often than taste does. A full shaker grid needs about 2.4m to read properly, so in a lot of the newer rooms dado height panelling sits better and costs less.

Common questions

Can you panel the stairs and landing?

Yes, and it is the most requested job in this area. The panel run on a flight has to be set out to the pitch of the stairs rather than to the floor, or the panels fan out visibly as they climb.

I am in a newer house at Miskin, is alcove work still relevant?

Often not, because the newer houses have shallow breasts or none. That usually points to a full wall of wardrobes or a media wall instead, which is a bigger and better job.

Do you cover Talbot Green and Llanharry?

Yes, along with Brynsadler and Cross Inn.

How far ahead do I need to book?

It depends on the size of the job. Send the details and you will get a date rather than a vague answer.
