Locksmith service in Bargoed, CF81
Bargoed is a town in the Rhymney Valley, sixteen miles north of Cardiff, with around 13,000 residents in the CF81 postcode. The town grew with the coal industry from the late 19th century onwards and the housing splits between Victorian valley terraces, post-war estate housing on the slopes, and newer 2000s estate building around Cwm Calon.
Most of Bargoed's housing is Victorian terraced stock built for colliery workers, with timber doors that have mostly been replaced with uPVC during the 1990s and 2000s. Aberbargoed and Gilfach add similar housing on the lower slopes. Post-war estate housing fills out the upper streets. The 2000s development around Cwm Calon has composite doors with current-spec multipoint locks.
