Working in Ripon
We cover every part of Ripon, including HG4, and nearby Harrogate (10 miles) and Northallerton (14.6 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Ripon: free survey, written quote, one team. For Ripon homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve. If your Ripon bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go.
Most of North Yorkshire has moderately hard water. 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
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
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.
