Working in Wisbech
We cover every part of Wisbech, including PE13, and nearby March (8.5 miles) and King's Lynn (11.5 miles).
In Wisbech, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Plumbing surveys in Wisbech include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote. For Wisbech homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve.
Water across much of Cambridgeshire is very 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 check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
- 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
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
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.
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.
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.
