Working in Aldershot
In Aldershot we cover GU11; we also cover Farnham, 2.8 miles away, and Farnborough.
In Aldershot, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Aldershot bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go. For Aldershot homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve.
Most of Hampshire has 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 check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
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.
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.
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.
