Working in Stamford Hill

As well as Stamford Hill itself (E5, N15 and N16), we survey in Highbury, Tottenham and Holloway.

In Stamford Hill, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. Plumbing surveys in Stamford Hill include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote. For Stamford Hill homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
