Working in Eastwood

We cover every part of Eastwood, including DE7, DE75 and NG16, and nearby Ilkeston (2.1 miles) and Heanor (2.4 miles).

Eastwood gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In Eastwood flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind. Plumbing surveys in Eastwood include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.

Most of Nottinghamshire has hard water. 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

Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach

Decisions to make first

Concealed or exposed valves

Concealed shower valves look neater but need an access route for servicing. Exposed bar valves are easier to reach and replace.

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.

Who handles building control for bathroom plumbing work in Eastwood?

Building control for Eastwood 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.

Do I need isolation valves on bathroom fittings?

They are good practice on every fitting. An isolation valve on each tap, cistern and shower supply lets that fitting be repaired or replaced without draining the system or turning off the whole house. We fit them on new bathroom plumbing as a matter of course.
