Working in Strabane
As well as Strabane itself (BT81 and BT82), we survey in Omagh, Cookstown and Dungannon.
Strabane gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Plumbing surveys in Strabane include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote. If your Strabane water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads.
Most of County Tyrone is supplied with soft water. 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
- 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
- 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
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.
