Working in Ramsbottom
We work right across Ramsbottom — BL0 — and in neighbouring Bury and Haslingden.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Ramsbottom: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Ramsbottom bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go. For Ramsbottom homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve.
Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are 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
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
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.
Pipe routes
Drilling through the middle of joists, rather than notching the tops, keeps the floor strong. Routes are planned with the joist direction in mind.
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.
