Working in Bordon

We cover every part of Bordon, including GU35, and nearby Alton (5.5 miles) and Haslemere (6.9 miles).

Bordon gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Plumbing surveys in Bordon include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote. For Bordon 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

Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal

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.

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.

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.

Who handles building control for bathroom plumbing work in Bordon?

Building control for Bordon is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

What is a macerator toilet and when can I use one?

A macerator is a pump unit behind the WC that breaks down waste and pumps it through a small-bore pipe to the soil stack, so a WC can go where gravity drainage cannot reach. Building regulations accept one only where the home also has a WC on gravity drainage. It needs a power supply and makes some noise when it runs.
