Working in Leyland
As well as Leyland itself (PR25 and PR26), we survey in Chorley, Preston and Horwich.
Homes in and around Leyland vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Leyland homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve. In Leyland flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind.
Water across much of Lancashire is 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
- 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
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
Decisions to make first
Gravity or pumped waste
Gravity drainage is always the first choice. A shower waste pump or macerator solves a run that cannot fall, but adds noise, a power supply and servicing.
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.
