Working in Canary Wharf
We work right across Canary Wharf — E3, E14 and SE16 — and in neighbouring Bow and Canning Town.
London homes in Canary Wharf often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If your Canary Wharf bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go. In Canary Wharf flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind.
Most of Greater London has very 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
- 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
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
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.
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.
