Working in Faversham
As well as Faversham itself (ME13), we survey in Whitstable, Sittingbourne and Canterbury.
Faversham gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Faversham home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump. Plumbing surveys in Faversham include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.
Water across much of Kent is very 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
- 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
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
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.
