Working in Southall
We cover every part of Southall, including UB1, UB2, UB5 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Greenford (1.5 miles) and Heston (1.8 miles).
London homes in Southall often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. In Southall flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind. If your Southall bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go.
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
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
Decisions to make first
Shower supply
Combi boilers and unvented cylinders give mains pressure. A gravity system with a cold tank may need a pump, but a pump must never be connected to the mains.
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.
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.
