Working in Weymouth
In Weymouth we cover DT3 and DT4; we also cover Dorchester, 7.2 miles away, and Poole.
In Weymouth, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In Weymouth flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind. If your Weymouth home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump.
Supplies across most of Dorset are hard. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. 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
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
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.
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.
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.
