Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Bellshill: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Bellshill water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads. If your Bellshill home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump.
Most of Lanarkshire is supplied with soft water. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. 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
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
Decisions to make first
Shower supply
Combi boilers and unvented cylinders give mains pressure. A gravity system with a cold tank may need a pump, but a pump must never be connected to the mains.
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.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover new water fittings, with the same 6-litre flush limit and backflow rules. Altering drainage may need a building warrant, so check before moving a WC or adding a new connection to the stack.
