Working in Marlow
We work right across Marlow — SL7 — and in neighbouring Maidenhead and High Wycombe.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Marlow: free survey, written quote, one team. Plumbing surveys in Marlow include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote. If your Marlow bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go.
Most of Buckinghamshire has hard water. 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
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
Decisions to make first
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.
Hard water
In hard water areas, a scale reducer or water softener protects valves, shower heads and glass. Keep an unsoftened tap in the kitchen for drinking.
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.
