Working in Lytham St Annes
We cover every part of Lytham St Annes, including FY4 and FY8, and nearby Blackpool (5.6 miles) and Poulton-le-Fylde (6.3 miles).
Homes in and around Lytham St Annes vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Plumbing surveys in Lytham St Annes include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote. If your Lytham St Annes home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump.
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
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
- 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.
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.
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.
