Working in Wilmslow
As well as Wilmslow itself (M90, SK8 and SK9), we survey in Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme and Hazel Grove.
In Wilmslow, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Plumbing surveys in Wilmslow include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote. If your Wilmslow 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
- 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
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
