Working in Nantwich
As well as Nantwich itself (CW5), we survey in Crewe, Sandbach and Winsford.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Nantwich: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Nantwich home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump. If your Nantwich water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads.
Supplies across most of Cheshire are moderately hard. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. 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
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
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.
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.
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.
