Working in Slough
We work right across Slough — SL1, SL2 and SL3 — and in neighbouring Windsor and Maidenhead.
Slough has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. For Slough homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve. If your Slough bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go.
Supplies across most of Berkshire are 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
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
Decisions to make first
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.
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 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.
