Working in Newton Aycliffe
As well as Newton Aycliffe itself (DL4 and DL5), we survey in Bishop Auckland, Spennymoor and Darlington.
Homes in and around Newton Aycliffe vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Newton Aycliffe bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go. For Newton Aycliffe homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve.
Water across much of County Durham is 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 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
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
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 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.
