Working in Camden Town
We work right across Camden Town — EC1N, NW1, NW3 and 14 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Holloway and Islington.
In Camden Town, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Camden Town bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go. If your Camden Town home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump.
Water across much of Greater London is 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
- 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
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
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.
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.
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.
