Working in Ascot

We cover every part of Ascot, including GU20, RG12 and SL5, and nearby Bracknell (3.3 miles) and Egham (5.5 miles).

Ascot gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Plumbing surveys in Ascot include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote. In Ascot flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind.

Water across much of Berkshire is hard. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system

Decisions to make first

Concealed or exposed valves

Concealed shower valves look neater but need an access route for servicing. Exposed bar valves are easier to reach and replace.

Shower supply

Combi boilers and unvented cylinders give mains pressure. A gravity system with a cold tank may need a pump, but a pump must never be connected to the mains.

Rules that apply in England

In England, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 apply. New drainage or a new connection to the soil stack can be building regulations work under Part H, and a macerator or pumped WC is acceptable only where there is also a WC on gravity drainage elsewhere in the home.
