Working in Selby

In Selby we cover YO8; we also cover Goole, 9.5 miles away, and Pontefract.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Selby: free survey, written quote, one team. For Selby homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve. In Selby flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind.

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
The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving

Decisions to make first

Hard water

In hard water areas, a scale reducer or water softener protects valves, shower heads and glass. Keep an unsoftened tap in the kitchen for drinking.

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.

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.

Who handles building control for bathroom plumbing work in Selby?

Building control for Selby is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

What is the maximum flush for a new toilet?

A new WC must have a maximum flush of 6 litres under the water fittings rules in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Dual-flush WCs add a smaller flush, often around 4 litres or less, for liquids. Our hard water guide covers keeping valves and cisterns working in scale-prone areas.
