Working in Fleetwood
We work right across Fleetwood — FY5 and FY7 — and in neighbouring Thornton-Cleveleys and Poulton-le-Fylde.
Homes in and around Fleetwood vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Fleetwood bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go. In Fleetwood flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind.
Most of Lancashire 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
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
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.
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.
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.
