Working in Newton-le-Willows
As well as Newton-le-Willows itself (WA2, WA3 and WA12), we survey in Golborne, Ashton in Makerfield and Haydock.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Newton-le-Willows: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Newton-le-Willows bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go. If your Newton-le-Willows home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump.
Water across much of Merseyside is 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
- 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
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
Decisions to make first
Concealed or exposed valves
Concealed shower valves look neater but need an access route for servicing. Exposed bar valves are easier to reach and replace.
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.
