Northallerton gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In Northallerton flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind. If your Northallerton water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads.
Water across much of North Yorkshire is moderately hard. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. 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
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
