Working in Droylsden
As well as Droylsden itself (M11, M18 and M43), we survey in Failsworth, Denton and Ashton-under-Lyne.
Droylsden gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Droylsden homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve. In Droylsden flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind.
Water across much of Greater Manchester is soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. 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
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
- 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.
