Working in King's Lynn
We cover every part of King's Lynn, including PE30, and nearby Wisbech (11.5 miles) and March (18.9 miles).
In King's Lynn, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For King's Lynn homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve. Plumbing surveys in King's Lynn include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.
Supplies across most of Norfolk are very 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
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
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.
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.
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.
