Working in Peterhead
As well as Peterhead itself (AB42), we survey in Fraserburgh, Inverurie and Aberdeen.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Peterhead: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Peterhead home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump. Plumbing surveys in Peterhead include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.
Water across much of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
Decisions to make first
Copper or plastic
Copper is rigid and suits pipes on show or near the boiler. Plastic is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.
Gravity or pumped waste
Gravity drainage is always the first choice. A shower waste pump or macerator solves a run that cannot fall, but adds noise, a power supply and servicing.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover new water fittings, with the same 6-litre flush limit and backflow rules. Altering drainage may need a building warrant, so check before moving a WC or adding a new connection to the stack.
