Working in Larkhall

We cover every part of Larkhall, including ML9, and nearby Wishaw (3 miles) and Hamilton (3.5 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Larkhall: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Larkhall home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump. If your Larkhall water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads.

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

Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces

Decisions to make first

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.

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 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.
