Working in Crowborough
We cover every part of Crowborough, including TN6, and nearby Tunbridge Wells (6.6 miles) and Uckfield (7 miles).
Crowborough gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Crowborough homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve. If your Crowborough home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump.
Most of East Sussex has hard water. 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
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
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.
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.
