Working in Cramlington
In Cramlington we cover NE22, NE23 and NE24; we also cover Bedlington, 3.1 miles away, and Blyth.
In Cramlington, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Cramlington water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads. If your Cramlington bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go.
Supplies across most of Northumberland are 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
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
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.
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.
