Working in New Mills
As well as New Mills itself (SK22), we survey in Hazel Grove, Glossop and Bredbury.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in New Mills: free survey, written quote, one team. If your New Mills home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump. For New Mills homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve.
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
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
Decisions to make first
Copper or plastic
Copper is rigid and suits pipes on show or near the boiler. Plastic is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.
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.
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.
