A capital city with the valleys on its doorstep
Cardiff itself holds about a third of the homes in the CF postcode. The rest are in Caerphilly, Pontypridd, Aberdare, Merthyr Tydfil, Bridgend, Barry and Penarth, so a brand with branches across South Wales can plan one campaign across the whole area and choose sectors town by town.
Inside the city, the mix changes quickly. Cathays and Roath are dominated by students and private renters, Pontcanna and Llandaff by established homeowners, and the newer estates at St Mellons, Pontprennau and the north of the city by young families. Nearly a quarter of Cardiff households now rent privately, which means more people moving in each year and more first time customers to win.
One in eight Cardiff residents speaks Welsh. A bilingual leaflet is a small touch that many local customers notice, and we deliver bilingual and Welsh language print just the same.
Where the homes are in CF

Cardiff leaflet distribution questions
Can I include the valleys in a Cardiff campaign?
Yes. Pontypridd, Aberdare, Caerphilly and Merthyr Tydfil are all in the CF postcode, so they can be added sector by sector to the same plan.
How many homes are there in the CF postcode?
Royal Mail’s October 2026 count shows 470,353 residential addresses across 128 postcode sectors, with around 164,000 in Cardiff itself.
Can my leaflet be in Welsh and English?
Yes. We deliver bilingual and Welsh language leaflets in exactly the same way. Just allow for the extra space when you design it.
Which parts of Cardiff are mainly students?
Cathays and parts of Roath have the highest share of students. If your offer is not aimed at them, we can leave those sectors out or time drops outside term.
Can you reach Cardiff Bay apartments?
Yes, through Royal Mail Door to Door, which delivers to flats and secure blocks with the daily post.
Is Cardiff busy for leaflets around big events?
Match days and concerts at the Principality Stadium bring crowds into the centre, but home deliveries carry on as normal. If your offer is linked to an event, we can time the drop for the week before.
