Working in Bletchley
As well as Bletchley itself (MK1, MK2 and MK3), we survey in Milton Keynes, Leighton Buzzard and Newport Pagnell.
In Bletchley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Bletchley bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go. For Bletchley homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve.
Water across much of Buckinghamshire 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
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
Decisions to make first
Pipe routes
Drilling through the middle of joists, rather than notching the tops, keeps the floor strong. Routes are planned with the joist direction in mind.
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.
