Working in Colne
We cover every part of Colne, including BB8 and BB9, and nearby Nelson (2.1 miles) and Burnley (4.8 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Colne: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Colne water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads. For Colne homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve.
Supplies across most of Lancashire are soft. 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
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
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.
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 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.
