Working in Bexley
In Bexley we cover DA5, DA6, DA14 and 2 more postcode districts; we also cover Dartford, 2.8 miles away, and Swanley.
London homes in Bexley often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If your Bexley water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads. Plumbing surveys in Bexley include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.
Supplies across most of Greater London are very 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
- 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
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
