Working in Long Eaton
We work right across Long Eaton — DE72, NG9 and NG10 — and in neighbouring Ilkeston and Nottingham.
In Long Eaton, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Long Eaton home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump. If your Long Eaton bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go.
Most of Derbyshire has moderately hard water. 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
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
