Working in Annan
We work right across Annan — DG12 — and in neighbouring Dumfries and Locharbriggs.
Annan gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Plumbing surveys in Annan include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote. For Annan homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve.
Water across much of Dumfries and Galloway is soft. 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
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
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.
Pipe routes
Drilling through the middle of joists, rather than notching the tops, keeps the floor strong. Routes are planned with the joist direction in mind.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover new water fittings, with the same 6-litre flush limit and backflow rules. Altering drainage may need a building warrant, so check before moving a WC or adding a new connection to the stack.
