Working in Grimsby
As well as Grimsby itself (DN31, DN32 and DN34), we survey in Cleethorpes, Louth and Kingston upon Hull.
Grimsby has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Grimsby home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump. In Grimsby flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind.
Supplies across most of Lincolnshire are 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
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
