Working in Heanor
We cover every part of Heanor, including DE75, and nearby Ripley (2.3 miles) and Eastwood (2.4 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Heanor: free survey, written quote, one team. For Heanor homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve. Plumbing surveys in Heanor include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.
Supplies across most of Derbyshire 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
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
Decisions to make first
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.
Shower supply
Combi boilers and unvented cylinders give mains pressure. A gravity system with a cold tank may need a pump, but a pump must never be connected to the mains.
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.
