Working in Liverpool
As well as Liverpool itself (L1, L2, L3 and 15 more postcode districts), we survey in Birkenhead, Wallasey and Litherland.
Liverpool is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. In Liverpool flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind. Plumbing surveys in Liverpool include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.
Supplies across most of Merseyside 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
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
- 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
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
