Working in Cleethorpes

In Cleethorpes we cover DN35; we also cover Grimsby, 1.8 miles away, and Louth.

In Cleethorpes, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Cleethorpes homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve. Plumbing surveys in Cleethorpes include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.

Water across much of Lincolnshire is hard. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

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
The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible

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.

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.
