Working in Salford
As well as Salford itself (M3, M5, M6 and 4 more postcode districts), we survey in Eccles, Old Trafford and Manchester.
In a city the size of Salford, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. Plumbing surveys in Salford include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote. In Salford flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind.
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
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- 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
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
Decisions to make first
Copper or plastic
Copper is rigid and suits pipes on show or near the boiler. Plastic is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.
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.
