Working in Farnborough

In Farnborough we cover GU14; we also cover Camberley, 3 miles away, and Aldershot.

Homes in and around Farnborough vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Farnborough bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go. Plumbing surveys in Farnborough include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.

Water across much of Hampshire is hard. 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

The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom

Decisions to make first

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.

Hard water

In hard water areas, a scale reducer or water softener protects valves, shower heads and glass. Keep an unsoftened tap in the kitchen for drinking.

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.
