Working in Stamford
As well as Stamford itself (PE9), we survey in Oakham, Peterborough and Corby.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Stamford: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Stamford bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go. Plumbing surveys in Stamford include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.
Most of Lincolnshire has hard water. 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 pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
- 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.
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.
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.
