Working in Portadown
As well as Portadown itself (BT62), we survey in Craigavon, Banbridge and Armagh.
In Portadown, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Portadown home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump. Plumbing surveys in Portadown include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.
Water across much of County Armagh is soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
- 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.
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.
Rules that apply in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 apply to new fittings. New drainage and connections are a matter for building control.
