Working in Uckfield

We work right across Uckfield — TN22 — and in neighbouring Crowborough and Lewes.

Uckfield gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In Uckfield flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind. If your Uckfield bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go.

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

Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
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

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.

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 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.
