Working in Andover
We work right across Andover — SP10 — and in neighbouring Winchester and Newbury.
In Andover, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Andover water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads. In Andover flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind.
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
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- 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
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
Decisions to make first
Gravity or pumped waste
Gravity drainage is always the first choice. A shower waste pump or macerator solves a run that cannot fall, but adds noise, a power supply and servicing.
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.
