Working in Wimbledon
As well as Wimbledon itself (SW17, SW19 and SW20), we survey in Morden, Mitcham and Putney.
London homes in Wimbledon often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. For Wimbledon homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve. If your Wimbledon bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go.
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
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
- 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
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
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.
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.
