Working in Yate

We cover every part of Yate, including BS37, and nearby Mangotsfield (5.2 miles) and Kingswood (7.2 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Yate: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Yate home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump. For Yate homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve.

Supplies across most of Gloucestershire 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

A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
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
Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system

Decisions to make first

Gravity or pumped waste

Gravity drainage is always the first choice. A shower waste pump or macerator solves a run that cannot fall, but adds noise, a power supply and servicing.

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.

A new WC must have a maximum flush of 6 litres under the water fittings rules in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Dual-flush WCs add a smaller flush, often around 4 litres or less, for liquids. Our hard water guide covers keeping valves and cisterns working in scale-prone areas.
